There should be term limits for these positions just like there are for Presidents. There are so many Judges who are just entrenched in this court, they see nothing and read nothing. How many people are denied the right to appeal by this court? Many, just get the monthly outcomes sent to your email address and you will be shocked by the number of rubber stamped denials. When in actuality, the USSC says everyone is entitled to an appeal, yet the CCA denies most people the right to appeal.

Also, look at the number of State Prosecuting Attorney's PDRs that are granted in comparison to the defendants' PDRs and as well, the number of reversals for the State in comparison to the number of reversals for defendants. It seems errors are almost impossible to preserve for review and almost nothing is harmful. Likewise, defendants have very little access to the court in comparison to the State and correspondingly, the defendants seem rarely able to get a reversal but the State seems almost perfect in doing so. Is it Keller, the republican court, incompetent attorneys, a growing disenchantment with justice for all, or something else?
