The most succinct way of putting it that I've seen
It'd be a real shame if there was systemic evidence of that simply not being true in the American justice system, be it the ever present racial discrepancies in sentencing or judicial reactions to things like systemic and pervasive wage theft.
It turns out applying their biases consistently just isn't the same thing as impartiality.
I wouldn't argue that most judges are impartial. I'm not sure who the straw man in the meme is supposed to be, I don't know who does. My point was just that there's nothing inherently nonsensical about coexisting impartial conservatives and impartial liberals who come to different conclusions in a case.
