The important difference is that judges are experts at impartiality, ethics, and decision making. They also can draw upon the expertise of multiple independent people. A huge part of law school is about teaching ethics, biases, and critical thinking. Which doesn't mean every judge is good at these things but even the average judge is much better than the average person.

Politically appointed bureaucrats typically have none of these skills, are always beholden to people in power, and often are given an agenda to peruse.

Congress outsourcing law making to bureaucrats is unconstitutional and SCOTUS made the right call legally. If it causes problems, Congress is empowered to fix it.

Of course there is corruption but if you think that means all (or most) judges are corrupt, you're confused.

Is this a joke? The US justice system is now extremely partisan and conservative judges rule according to the interests of the Republican party.

Just because you don't like their rulings doesn't make them wrong, legally speaking. I recommend reading the controversial decisions. What they've said is very different from what the memes about them claim they've said.
