Forget the preening about judges being non-partisan. Most judges are political and partisan, especially on collegial courts. They are duty-bound not to express such views in public, but in private, among friends and colleagues, most judges are intensely political.
Judges insisting they are apolitical is about as credible as the press claiming to be objective.
Seems like a sweeping generalization to me. Do you have any evidence of your statement? You may be right. I would assume judges have opinions, but would attempt to make their rulings without letting their prejudices effect them. It becomes harder all the time to believe that more and more judges are not swayed by politics.Especially when those nominating them are more and more political.
