57. What are they going to ask him to uncover that bias?

They can't ask him if he's a republican, or if he supported President Trump. They certainly can't exclude him based on political beliefs. A judge would squash that line of questioning so quick a lawyers head would spin.

They can only ask open ended questions. Stuff like "Would you have an open mind if XYZ."
