I have begun to question the respect due a judge given that judges have
become more politician-like in recent times.

Ah. Yeah, and in the days of yore--say, before and during the civil rights
movement, in the southern states--judges were all fair and non-political
and, just like to police, they weren't corrupt.

They are now swayed by public opinion and private conversations,

Never happened before.
