It's not about having even partisanship. That's putting a band-aid on the hemorrhage. Actually, it's more like having a hemorrhage in each arm and widening the wound on the left so that you bleed out evenly.
What we need are impartial justices. Really, honestly, and truly impartial justices. I know a few judges in my area who would probably do a damn good job keeping politics out of the Supreme Court, but the real issue is with confirmation. Alito's nomination to replace Sandra Day O'Connor made me want to vomit. Why, on god's green earth, do we allow a president, king of partisanship, to choose a judge to sit on the highest court in the land? It's (pardon my french) fucking stupid.
