Introduction

The founders of our nation wanted a judiciary that was independent from politics. They worried that courts would become beholden to any one political party and therefore unable to protect the rights of all citizens equally. In 1787, when the Constitution was written, most states had judges who were elected by voters or appointed by governors. To prevent this kind of partisan influence on the courts, the framers decided on an independent judiciary made up of federal judges who serve for life without term limits. The Supreme Court justices are appointed by the president and confirmed by Congress (in contrast with state supreme courts, which operate under state constitutions).

The Founding Fathers wanted the courts to be protected from politics.

The Founding Fathers wanted an independent judiciary that was out of control or beholden to any one political party. They also wanted the courts to be protected from politics.

In order for this to happen, they created a system where there were no term limits for federal judges, including Supreme Court justices. This means that once you’re elected as a judge on your state’s supreme court (or even as an appeals judge at any level), you can stay in office until retirement age unless you retire earlier or die while still serving on the bench. There is no set time limit on when someone can retire from being appointed by the president and later confirmed by both houses of Congress before becoming an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court; however, most justices do not serve longer than 30 years before retiring due to several reasons including health issues related specifically towards aging males such as heart disease/heart attacks/stroke risks etcetera.”

In what ways was the judiciary designed to limit the role of politics?

The judiciary was designed to be independent from politics. The Supreme Court has the power to overturn laws and regulations, but its decisions are not legally binding on lower courts or other federal entities. In addition, its members are appointed for life–no one can be removed from office unless they commit a crime or abuse their power in some way that hurts the public good.

The Supreme Court also has a separate budget from Congress; it is not subject to oversight from either legislative branch of government. This helps insulate judges from political pressures because they don’t have to worry about being influenced by politicians when making decisions about cases before them (or their colleagues).

Are the courts completely immune from politics in their work? Why or why not?

The courts are not immune from politics, but they should be. The Constitution gives judges broad powers to make law and enforce it. Judges are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate; if you don’t like how a judge interprets the law, you can vote them out of office or get rid of him or her through impeachment proceedings.

A judge’s job is not an easy one: he or she has to balance two sets of interests–those represented by litigants in court and those who oppose them–and do so without regard for his or her personal views about those issues (or even whether he/she agrees with them).

What role does politics play in Supreme Court confirmation proceedings?

The confirmation process is political, and the Senate is a political body. The president nominates candidates for the Supreme Court, and if those nominees obtain majority support in their home state, they will be confirmed. However, if no candidate has enough votes for approval by the Senate when it votes on whether or not to confirm them–or if one or more senators vote against your nomination–you’re out of luck!

The American people elected you as president (or vice president), so it should go without saying that you have some say regarding who sits on our nation’s highest court. You can make your own picks; however, unless they get approved by both houses of Congress (which means two-thirds majority vote), they’ll never become part of history as part of America’s legal system.”

Should there be term limits for federal judges, including Supreme Court justices?

In general, no. The judiciary is designed to be insulated from politics in order to ensure that it remains impartial and neutral. A judge’s job is not just to interpret the law but also to enforce it when necessary. If judges were elected by citizens or put up for election every few years, then it would be difficult for them to maintain their impartiality during political campaigns because of their own personal political views and experiences.

There are several reasons why we don’t want our federal courts controlled by politics:

• We don’t want politicians interfering with our courts’ ability to enforce laws fairly (e.g., by being selective about which laws they enforce). This would lead us back into bad old days when people could get away with breaking certain laws without penalty because they knew those instances wouldn’t end up in court – since there wasn’t enough evidence against them anyway! So while we might want some kind of “due process” system where someone accused has access rights under ordinary circumstances before being charged with breaking any particular set rules (e.g., hiring lawyers), we certainly don’t want anything else involved along these lines either – such as being able sue people who’ve done something wrong against them personally instead just through their employers’ firms after hours work hours expired at night time clocks struck midnight.”

The founding fathers wanted an independent judiciary that was out of control or beholden to any one political party. They wanted this because they knew that if the judiciary had any power, it would be used against the people and their rights. The founders also understood that if judges were beholden to one political party, then they would rule in favor of that party’s agenda rather than protecting our rights as Americans.

The Federalist Papers provide some insight into this concept: “An election ought not [to] depend on the chancellorship alone; but on his judgment also; and on his diligence in securing those in whom he may confide with regard thereto.” The “chancellorship” refers to how well-suited someone is at handling cases before him/herself; their work ethic (judgment) will determine whether you get justice when you need it most!

Conclusion

The founding fathers wanted an independent judiciary that was out of control or beholden to any one political party. While the courts have often been a thorn in the side of those in power, they have been extremely successful at keeping politicians from meddling too much with their work. This has led many people to believe that judges should be subject only to the law and not politics at all but there are some good reasons why this is not possible.
