Of course I know the diff between a stay and an injunction, because I was a litigator, but I had to look up "Dormant Commerce Clause" myself. There's an awful lot of law out there, and if you don't practice constitutional law specifically (a narrow and uncommon niche) this is kind of a trick question. Even Fed judges don't see that much Con law.
I graduated law school in 1980, did a two-year federal clerkship, private practice (litigation) for 12 years, then went into the state judicial system from which I retired last year.

Yes, and everything is a specialty. I am a lawyer too with a very good reputation.
What you said. I graduated in 1979, never practiced in federal courts, and learned about this in the last 20 minutes…
