Maybe we’re just more open to vocalizing our frustrations here in the US than you lot who struggle even to tell one another you love them. Maybe this is a difference of cultural expression more than it’s a difference of judicial objectivity and jurisprudential purity. I’d agree we may have a greater degree of bias in our courts now, but cannot agree that your judges have none at all (at the risk of exaggerating stances and oversimplifying, if that makes sense, just making a point). 

I don't disagree that there is some degree of  bias, but appears the system 'smooths' it out to the point it doesn't raise hackles. It does help, I think, that UK Judges can't be seen to be biased, whereas in the US, it's par for the course.

One measure of a candidate's worth is when Tucker Carlson says nasty things about your selection process.

Hmm.  Still not quite sure how to embed here.  Let's try....

 

Yeessssss!

 

I honestly never pay much attention until the person is confirmed. With a certain party removing the filibuster and Dem's having slim majority, things should go smoothly enough however.
