Unfortunately, we are looking for people who will legislate from the bench...just in our favor. Robert Bork had some brilliant commentary on this in his book, "The Political Seduction of the Law." It took me forever to read because of his intellect, but it was well worth it.
I will never understand why the Dems opposed Bork. He was totally apolitical in his view on the law. HE was the strictest of the the strict and would have been a brilliant Supreme Court Justice.

Umm...I think you just answered your own question.
