I've asked several lawyers and legal historians this and keep coming up empty, so I'm going to throw it out to the internet in desperation.
When exactly did U.S. lawyers first start conducting background checks on potential members of a trial jury, as part of their prep for void dire?

ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

It's incredibly disturbing that the Trump administration (1) is not investigating the ICE shooter; (2) has refused to cooperate with any state-led investigation of the ICE shooter; but (3) aims to go hard after Renee Good's widow.
Last week, I looked into the record of the federal prosecutor in Minnesota who was leading the work on the Somali daycare fraud case.
He struck me as a straight shooter, not a partisan hack.
Well here's confirmation: He has quit after DOJ pressure to investigate Renee Good's widow. (#giftlink 🎁)
