People describe the judges that way, but in reality at least ones at the Supreme Court level tend to be apolitical.
They may have very strong views on what framework a judge should use to interpret the law, but they usually will not push their own political agenda.
- confidantlake 6y agoIf that were true, there would not be such huge political fights over judges. As it stands, conservative judges tend to vote one way, liberal judges tend to vote another.
- NateEag 6y agoThat is not the impression my reading about various cases has left me with. I can't point you to specific cases - I can only say that what has really stood out to me is that the justices do mostly seem to have well-defined interpretive frameworks, and that they work from those. I can think of an exception, but my experience has generally been that it's the case.
