REALITY BASED JURORS NEED NOT APPLY

Questions Libby's lawyers intend to put to potential jurors:
  • What is your political party preference? Democrat, Republican, Independent or other?

  • Please describe any feelings you have about Vice President Cheney.

  • Based on what you know at this time, do you believe that the administration misled the American people to justify going to war?

  • Have you been following any of the recent political scandals involving Jack Abramoff, William Jefferson, Tom DeLay, Cynthia McKinney, or Mark Foley?

  • Do you have particularly strong feelings about the war in Iraq?

  • Based on what you know at this time, do you believe that the administration misled the American people to justify going to war?

  • Do any of you have feelings or opinions about the Bush Administration or any of its policies or actions, whether positive or negative, that might affect your ability to give a former member of the Bush Administration a fair trial?

  • Would the fact that former or present members of the Bush Administration will be witnesses in this case impair your ability to be a totally fair and impartial juror?

  • Would any of you have any difficulty fairly judging the believability of former or present members of the Bush Administration?

  • Do any of you have any feelings or opinions about Vice President Cheney, whether positive or negative, that might affect your ability to fairly judge Vice President Cheney's believability?

  • Several witnesses who will testify in this case are members of the news media. Would any of you have any difficulty fairly judging the believability of a person who is a member of the news media?

  • Is there anyone who believes that everyone's memory is like a tape recorder and therefore all individuals are able to remember exactly what they said and were told in the past?

  • Is there anyone who feels that a person could not honestly say something about a matter he or she truly believed to be true when that person several months earlier actually said something totally different about that same matter?

  • Is there anyone who believes that it is impossible for a person to mistakenly believe that he or she was told something by one person when in fact the person was actually told the information by someone totally different several months earlier?

  • Is there anyone who believes that it is absolutely impossible for a person to believe very strongly that he or she has certain memories about something, even though it is determined that those memories are inaccurate?
