YES !!!! A Politicised Judiciary !!!!
I'm talking about your mentioning candidates being "tested" on the Separation of Powers that is supposed to exist in your country. Would that help the situation that exists ??? A system that is not a true Separation of the Powers ???

Your judges at the Federal level are nominated by the President...does he not represent a political party ??? And therefore would he not nominate those judges who would best suit his interests ???
In Federalist 78, Alexander Hamilton argued for the independence of judges. He believed they should be appointed to serve "during good behavior" and insulated from the political process, as this helps them check the legislative and executive branches. The main reason for this is that it is more difficult for a judge that is affiliated with a political party and in need of campaign funds from that party, to pass rulings against their Party leaders in the Congress, or executive branch.

So what I'm asking is.....would candidates benefit at all by being tested ???
