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.
Here's a very simple rule of thumb: If the judges' opinions happen to divide along party lines, they are by definition partisan. Now go look at the majority vs minority opinions from the last half a decade or so.

Very simple and very wrong.
Yes, partisan politicians appoint judges with legal principles that they favor but that doesn't make the judges themselves partisan.
Trump's SCOTUS appointees have all decided cases in ways that were distinctly not partisan, based on their legal principles and not any kind of party loyalty.
Partisan people (like yourself, presumably) don't even notice these decisions or try to downplay them. This is hyper partisanship itself and it's toxic to a democracy.
