Don't let these theater filled hearings fool you when it comes to supreme court nominees. Most nominees are just as much a political hack as others in the world of professional politics. And along with obtaining their desired position they must protect the institution no matter what. Without the institution they don't have their desired status. These 'judges' lobby for this poop for years sometimes decades. Their name is not just pulled out of hat or another politician asking "Do you know anyone". These jobs/positions are lobbied for complete with deals some of which are complex and/or playout over time. It's not all about the resume.
In politics deals are made and favors paid.

They're appointed for life and free of the politics that you allude to, there is no "protect the institute" beyond ensuring that the rule of law is followed.
How about even if their appointment hearings were contentious when it comes to the job they follow the rule of law not doing a favor for fearless leader. Don't be shocked most people wouldn't expect any less of them even if we don't agree with their appointments.
