I do not assume liberal judges are better. They all function within their strong mental biases. Both left and right have good and bad judges within their internal value system.
Ok, thanks for clarifying your definition.
I prefer systems where judges are selected based on merit rather than political affiliation. Lifetime Supreme Court appointments are dangerous too. If it has to be decided by politics, a balance between the main political factions in a country is probably a safe bet, too.
Just to clarify, I am neither liberal nor conservative, at least based on US definitions. I was just responding to the claim that only one side is rotten.
Left and right are very much the same in the US, from my point of view. Both are there to support the military-industrial complex and the minor but symbolic aspects in which they differ are just there to keep the common people busy fighting amongst themselves.

Merit should always trump other attributes. FYI conservative judges are generally more qualified than liberal judges because of affirmative action. Based on LSAT scores and law school grades, diversity mandated judges are less meritorious.
All federal judges are confirmed for life in USA. Supreme Court, circuit judges, district judges
I would counter that left and right folks have different views of human nature, a different world view that causes a confilict of visions

the other ones are radical left wing judges who are trying to dismantle the constitution and replace it with judicial activism
