CMV: There being a fight over the SC seat is a testament that the SC is broken

As the title implies, I believe that the very fact that there is this much of a fight over who gets to sit on the US Supreme Court means that the SC is broken as an institution. The very fact that politicians and people at large talk of a conservative or liberal bias in the SC means that it isn't neutral.

People arguing about balancing the court members, term limits and so on are missing the point that they are trying to balance a system that shouldn't need to be balanced for political opinion in the first place.

As a note, I am not from the US. In my country, hardly anyone knows who is on the SC because we trust them to do their job professionally.

I certainly can't fault you there. Courts all over the West have been progressively more politicised. People go into law and become judges, not to protect basic rights, but to create more laws, more regulation, all from a partisan perspective.

What would you rather the situation be instead of what the US has currently?
