        A question so nice they asked it twice! I’d also fail #38

        And the question about bias in an election year. Isn’t that kind of the point? He committed the felonies in an effort to secure to 2016 election, so you disregard that because… He might do it again??

        1. Can you give us your assurance that you will decide this case solely on the evidence you see and hear in this courtroom and the law as the iudge gives it?

        Yeah haha that’s a tough one

      Thanks for posting the questionnaire. I don’t think I’d pass it. I’m not sure anyone I know would pass it. I’d be tempted to answer a lot of those questions in a way the defense wouldn’t like.

      1. Do you have any strong opinions or firmly held beliefs about whether a former president may be criminally charged in state court?

      I have a strong opinion and firm belief that it is a miscarriage of justice that it has taken this long for Trump to be charged in any court.
