Default Political judges

afer all the commotion concerning the appointment of supreme court judges, I was asking my self: shouldn't a judge be impartial and only look at the law at hand?
Meaning no matter if you personally are for it or against it because you are either progressive or conservative, their judgement should only be based on the law

Seeing how conservatives now try to get a conservative candidate, you would think this is not the case in the US and that instead personal favor is instead determining the final judgements ( why else do they reject someone not conservative enough in their eyes?)


I know the "liberals" are just the same in that sense

Shouldn't justice be blind ( hence the blindfold)?
And shouldn't politics stay out of the rulingproces (sorry for the english) and only make laws not apply them?

Lets face it if the law is clear in the fact that it allows same sex marriageses then a judge ruling otherwise is not sticking to the law, is he?
