Judges are politicians just like elected officials and, let's be honest, their decisions are subjective. This isn't an exact science, ideology plays a role in every single interpretation of the law that comes from any bench. Period. And if you think the right doesn't judge shop to take advantage of it as well, you're kidding yourself.

There are certainly jurists out there that let their biases show a bit too much from time to time, but people only care when they disagree with the decision and when the topic is bright and shiny to get the attention of everyone. I just wish people would stop pretending that the judiciary is somehow supposed to be without fault and objective when it is anything but. After all, if they were all textualists we wouldn't need any of them.

True. Where was this judge back when Obama mandated schools allow transgender students to use bathrooms, or federal funding may be cut out to them? Take the moral & political feelings away from that issue, what is really the difference between the two threats of cutting federal funding.
