You believe that judges can remain impartial sqrl, I don't.

I said "the most impartial", not "completely impartial".  The point is with nine people who are extremely impartial you have 8 people anchoring anyone who shows some small bias on a given case.  That is sort of the idea of having a large panel rather than a single justice.

Where we actually disagree is that I think it is foolhearty to try and "tune" the court by thinking you can assess which biases are greater and adding someone with an equal but opposite bias to counteract.  This reasoning is insane because the positions aren't permanent and adding offset bias inevitably will produce more bias than just assigning the least biased people you can.

Not to mention that it is a method of reactionary nullification which diminishes the purpose of it being a nine member panel rather than utilizing it as the immense strength that it is.

I editted on you.  Sorry.

I would call most of the court very partial judges right now, what makes you think this is going to change drasticly in the future?

By continueing to add more impartial judges.  These guys are getting old afterall.

It's better to wean poison out of your system... rather then rely on a delicate balance of different poisons and hope you aren't screwed.
