They are supposed to be removed from politics, yes. Meaning their decision aren't swayed by current events or the moods of the voters. Supreme Court decisions are simply supposed to be based on the constitutionality of the question before them.

To think that the Founding Fathers intended all Justices to enter office with a clean ideological slate is a little silly.
