Either one is wrong. They're separate parts of a bigger problem.
You've said that they're all biased because they're coming from the parties.

I said it was a bad idea to nominate someone to the SCOTUS without any judicial experience. We need all judges from local judges up to the supreme court to be impartial. Part of being impartial is not bringing personal politics to the table.
The Supreme Court Oath:
Quote:

"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.''

The job requires one to be impartial.
