The Volokh Conspiracy Extended: Eugene Volokh [UCLA Law Professor]:

it’s a mistake, I think, to assume that the “ordinary constitutional law” rule is that the government may not require a license before you can exercise any constitutional right. Likewise, I doubt that recognizing a licensing requirement for guns [or in this case, "appropriate" knowledge for the case at hand"] will materially affect the well-settled law on when licensing can be required for speech [or, again, in this case, when one can be approved or dismissed for jury duty]

Could this be used as grounds to limit the impartiality of the jury pool... ending in a satire of justice in the Court room? If lawyers/judges hold the ability to dismiss a juror under the pretense that the individual apparently lacks the knowledge necessary to understand the "scientific" case at hand, then one can perpetually dismiss the jurors until the advantageous individual is found.
