Can a proper basis for a cause challenge in juror selection be an  
individual's beliefs about the role of a governor in the economic  
situation of a state? In the federal trial of the ex-governor of  
Illinois the judge apparently is going to assess the feelings of  
potential jurors about the ex-governor's role in the state's current  
economic crisis to determine whether they can make a fair and unbiased  
determination of the ex-gov's guilt or innocence.
