Do you believe that Chief Justices should be affiliated to any political group?

It's unrealistic to think that a justice wouldn't have a political view.

It's how the President picks them, and why.

BTW, there is only one Chief Justice.

Everybody has their personal political views, and I could care less if they identify with a party.
What does matter, is if that party affiliation influences they way they rule.
A judge is supposed to rule on the LAW, not make law. A fact that seems to be lost on them!!!

IMO they should be apolitical.

The reason I ask this question is that i believe that a justice should be appointed base on merit, now thats jus me. Capt Johnson made a point that is it is better to know one affiliation than not knowing . Question are the Justices rulings being influenced politically. If not then why are they making it a big deal of it.

Regardless of political party affiliation, their views will lean one way or the other on the political spectrum. Since we really only have 2 major parties (all others are fairly inconsequential since we're not a parliamentary democracy), its likely that they will fall under one party or the other, but there's multiple specific views under the Republican and Democrat platforms. I don't think past membership or voting affiliation is an issue. It's not the RNC or DNC are giving Supreme Court Justices their approved talking points.

No, but they are...
