I sort of disagree -- I don't think that the court system should be considered in terms of evenly distributing political parties.
Judges should, in my opinion, be as nonpartial as possible in order to fulfill their societal role, and thus should carry no party affiliation.
I am opposed to anyone, liberal or conservative, becoming a judge if their beliefs are extreme enough to produce unfair judgements. Unfortunately, I bet that there are many judges like this out there. Look at the Supreme Court!
When the democrats seek to block the most extreme judicial nominees, I support them. I also support republicans that block the most extreme liberal nominees -- despite the fact that my political beliefs are more liberal than most.
