Yes. This makes me nervous. I don't even know how judges can have a political lean fundamentally. In practice, yes, their rulings lean may one way more frequently, but that is a flaw to me! I studied journalism in high school, and at the time, even reporters supposedly had integrity and were unbiased, let alone the judicial system, a standard we could depend upon. I voted for Trump, but am seeing where his artful deals are positive and potentially trouble. Congress is a joke. Let's pack this bill with a bunch of crud we want and the other party doesn't. Wait, it failed? Let's waste some more time trying to get what we want, but in a slightly different way. It's like a high school popularity contest half the time too. You're not in the cool group if you don't vote nay, or I want attention- I am not voting with my party, and I'm not going to give a good reason either. Such a mess.

It's very much a real problem. They only solution is to vote the bastards out if they're not serving you. But the way they handle everything in Congress you don't really know who to blame for what without actually doing some work. And that's the problem.
