I can't believe this bill is trying to make it so that people with disabilities can serve on juries. Like, what even is this? How is this gonna work? It's just gonna slow everything down and make it harder for us to get things done. Why should we have to deal with this? How is this gonna affect me and my rights as a citizen?

This bill is a joke! Why should we let disabled people serve on a jury? They won't be able to fully participate and make informed decisions. How will this affect the fairness of trials in the long run?
