I find it interesting that any part of the court is described as 'liberal' or 'conservative.' I think it's a fundemental flaw in the system that it even is possible to split the court along such lines. Isn't the judicial branch supposed to be separate from the legislative branch?

I don't recall the Law Lords in the UK being ever described as such. Or the Irish Supreme Court for that matter.
