The real reason to vote for SCOTUS is because you want your politics represented.  Result?  Partisan justices.

The whole point behind the Court is that it's a panel of legal experts out to interpret the law, not pander to certain demographics or ideologies.  Sure, there are partisan decisions, but elections would make it worse, make it explicit.
