The Civil rights acts of 2014 under consideration in the Senate has a provision on jury selection. I'll quote the redraft version proposal:

Perhaps this is jury composition in theory but will this really change the way jury is selected in the game? Jurors are selected at random at the moment. Will the Civil rights act change that and will the census need to be expanded to gather data on gender and ethnicity.

The Jury Reform Act states

2. Jury selection shall be random

so if this Act is the most recent on this topic and still in place, some modification could be needed.

Are we allowed to discuss bills currently up for debate here?

Yes, here everybody can discuss Senate issues freely. It is usually accepted for a citizen to post in a senate bill if you have a concern but I'm not a Senate official. If you want to make sure Senators read your post, maybe directly in the Senate bill is better.
