Which judges?
We don’t have a separate administrative court as does most of europe, so everything ‘climbs’ through the court hierarchy.
State judges vary widely, even if state supreme court justices tend to at least not be horrible.
Federal District judges who settle mundane matters are not of the same calibre as those above them in the Federal court hierarchy.
Even our Appellate judges vary from ideological (west coast, new england/ny) to constitutional (the south, esp Texas).

As of January 2, 2025, out of 679 district court judges, 384 were appointed by Democratic presidents and 257 by Republican presidents. This is the source of the problem.
