The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Torres, 128 F.3d 38 (2nd Cir. 1997):
The category of challenges for cause is limited. 4 Such challenges "permit rejection of jurors on ... narrowly specified, provable and legally cognizable bas[es] of partiality." Swain v. Alabama, 380 U.S. 202, 220, 85 S.Ct. 824, 836, 13 L.Ed.2d 759 (1965). Usually, "jurors are dismissed from the venire 'for cause' precisely because they are unwilling or unable to follow the applicable law." United States v. Thomas, 116 F.3d 606, 616 (2d Cir.1997). 5
