The fact that judges and justices are chosen through a partisan political process should not be interpreted to mean that they engage in blatant partisanship while on the bench. As officers of the court, a separate branch of government, they prize their judicial independence. Can they hold the line without intervening in the legitimate policy-making authority of the other branches? "I think they try," says Jonathan Varat, but it is "extremely difficult to do."
