Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether it is consistent with this Court's holding in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., 556 U.S. 868 and the imperatives of Due Process to require the application of an objective standard in all constitutional claims of judicial bias, and the unconstitutional potential for a conflict of interest sufficient to undermine public confidence in the integrity of the judicial proceeding by having ex parte communications, close relationships and ongoing contacts with the United States attorneys office for the Central District of Illinois such that their paralegal is unable to disconnect himself from that office
