  And basically there's an odd number of them, so in normal circumstances there's always going to be a bias towards the majority party affiliation. Even if you argue that they can be partial themselves, the selection process via President and then Senate confirmations all but ensures a highly partisan nature just to get past that screening.
context: Because there's no reason to think they're impartial. It'd be impossible to make that argument given the changes made and the politics involved in appointing them.
