"Finally, it would put those "jury specialists" out of business and make them get real jobs. ; )"
I like your ideas. I like making jury duty mandatory, no exceptions. And fair compensation should be part of it.
Of course your ideas have no chance of becoming reality, since those that would lose most are those that would have to enact the rules changes.
Of course, that could suppress voter registration which could cause problems. Perhaps it could be tied to driver's licenses, but that could mean illegals could be on a jury.
Oh never mind. There's a reason I'm not a in public office. LOL. However, I wonder if some enterprising person could get something like this on the ballot in each state as an initiative. That might get us around the vested interests.
