Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether enforcing the statutory requirement
of the appearance of conflict-of-interest, 28
U.S.C. § 455(a), will restore the public's recordlow confidence in the judiciary or severely
injured the public's view of our judicial system
and its reputation if this Court does not grant
this Petition?

2. Whether a court with an alleged conflict of
interest, should be the same court to rule on its
own conflict-of-interest?

3. Whether the baseless dismissal of Salem's
Complaint against government officials, under
Rule 12(b), further erodes the public's
confidence in our judiciary?

4. Whether the Seventh Circuit erroneously

impose sanctions?
