Politicization of the courts is not a good thing. On the other hand the courts themselves have been guilty of allowing it by deferring to the executive branch bureaucrats' "expertise" and allowing them to make laws out of ill-defined bills. Prime examples are declaring that farm ponds and small creeks are waters of the USA and using interstate commerce to justify anything the cabinet of the administration in power wants. The balance of power has become skewed. The federal courts will not stay in their lane which is to strictly follow the Constitution. Congress is ineffective in correcting excesses. Constitutional amendments are next to impossible. The feds continue to undermine the States which is where most laws affecting day to day living should reside.
