Are ther more Democrat or Republican Judges in the USA?

Question

Starting from the supreme court...

Is there any research has been done? I know judges should be neutral - but which side they lean on more? They are human being too - not gods. I am sure they have opinions.

Answer 1

Don't know where you can find it, but for every judge on a federal bench or circuit, you should be able to find out who appointed them (Dem or Repub). For many state and local judges, these are often elected, so you can find out what party they're in.

Where to start research or getting data? This might be a stretch, but check out the University of Michigan - they have a HUGE database of demographic information, and they might also have data like this too. Go to their website and find your way to "demographic" or "statistics" or "studies" and see where you get. You might actually need to phone them to ask what sort of access you can get - but I believe they make a lot of it public.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you are really a "highly intellectual dude," you might want to work on your grammar and spelling. No one will take you seriously unless you can utilize these arts properly.
You might also want to hold yourself out as something else.
As to your question - on the Federal level - I think we're still leaning Democratic. Thank you, Bill. George hasn't had a chance to catch up yet, and Reagan's appointees are retiring or passing.
All PEOPLE have opinions. The indicator of a good judge is being able to put those personal opinions aside and serve the LAW. I think John Roberts is showing himself to be a good example of this theory. His background is as conservative as it gets - yet he has sided with the Liberals on a few major decisions in his short time on the bench.
