It has less to do with political affiliation and more to do with judicial philosophy. Conservative judges favor greater adherence to letter of the law, i.e., the Constitution, and not legislating from the bench. Liberals prefer judicial activists who "interpret" the Constitution and apply it to issues, which can't be won through the legistlative process.

Right so hence how the judges operate indicates their political swaying.
