It's quite ironic how the US Constitution was so keen to separate the branches of government, and that that is such a key part of their mindset still, and yet the appointment of judges has become so politicised.
Meanwhile in the UK, judges seem to be able to hold the government to account better, despite having fewer formal powers to do so and relying on public pressure after landmark cases like yesterday's civil partnerships one.
