Judges "try to make decisions based on what they see as the law," Eugene Volokh states. "The difficulty is that sometimes the law is quite ambiguous, so the law will bind with the judge's own personal views."

Their obligation to resolve a case fairly will not "allow their ideology...to dictate an outcome that doesn't fit the facts.
