A follow up on death ... and taxes

OK .. reading through my missive i notice that it is not necessarily reasoned but rather impassioned ... no biggie as it it my opinion and only my opinion and dissenting opinions are welcome ... however on my way into work this AM there was a short blurb about how it will be approximately 5 years before ANY appeal of the Peterson case is actually heard due to a MASSIVE backlog of cases up for appeal ... its no wonder our justice system is wacky ....

So in the interest of helping things move along more smoothly why cant we the people install a judicial appeal board of say 7 members whose job would be to review these cases for appeal and be provided with the authority to make their appeal decisions stick ... with the codicil that one final appeal would be granted to the Supreme Court. This board would consist of retired judges (4 of them), two retired lawyers (one defense lawyer and one prosecuting attorney) and a plain ole folks citizen ... they would be appointed (one each by the governor, lieutenant governor, senate pro tem leader, speaker of the assembly, minority assembly leader, senate minority leader and the chief justice of the State Supreme Court) and then elected to a four year term and subject to the same term limits (and removal) as the constitutional officers of the state. their sole purpose in life would consist of judicial review of appeal cases. Staff would be provided for their use but these positions would be stipend (per diem) based.

again .... just an idea but i think it is one whose time has come a long time ago ....
