A barely competent judge will not allow such a question by an attorney nor would she/he ask such a question in open court. The only question on this issue that may be asked to the potnetial juror is in the juror questionnaire by the Clerk of the Court. The questionnaire may ask whether you have a medical condition that may interfere with your ability to sit for jury service.
