At a confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Kato Crews, President Biden’s nominee for District Judge of the U.

S. District Court of Colorado, was stumped by questioning from Sen. John Kennedy, R-La.

Kennedy asked Crews how he would analyze a Brady motion, to which Crews admitted he had never had to address the legal concept before. Kennedy then asked if Crews remembered the Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland, to which Crews responded that he was aware of it being related to the Second Amendment, but he had not had the chance to address the issue.

The Brady motion, named after the landmark Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland, requires the prosecution to hand over potentially favorable evidence to the defense. Kennedy’s decision to raise the issue in Crews’ confirmation hearing speaks to the importance of judicial nominees understanding this fundamental legal concept.

The next question Kennedy imposed was. "Tell me what Article V of the Constitution does?" To which Crews answered, "Article V is not coming to mind at the moment." Another question related to article II came up with Crews not having an answer.

The exchange marks the second time this year Kennedy has stumped a Biden judicial nominee during confirmation hearings, following a similar exchange with Spokane County Superior Court Judge Charnelle Bjelkengren in February. Crews, who has served as a magistrate judge since 2018, could not answer either question. Although Crews could not answer Kennedy’s question, his lack of knowledge on the topic does not necessarily disqualify him from the position.
