Courts have a political nature?? true/false?

TRUECourts have a political nature?? true/false?
On a theoretical level, the judiciary is supposed to be independent. Until very recently, judges could not declare a political party in elections, and candidates were not supposed to give opinions on questions of law that they might encounter in their courts. That's being liberalized. Judges are supposed to interpret statutory and administrative law and apply it to questions of fact. As a practical matter, though, conservative administrations tend to skew court decisions by appointing liberal or conservative judges to vacancies on the bench.Courts have a political nature?? true/false?
That depends on the judges. Local courts reflect the local attutude, some liberal, some conservative. The Supreme Court justices are nominated by the President, their membership depends on who won the last election. Judges are supposed to swing based on the last elections, they are to reflect the will of the people.
