The Democrats are closer to our Tories rather than being actually left wing, so what party the President who elevated them belongs to doesn't really mean much tbh.

The bit in bold isn't really true. Even those that are anti-abortion, still view the issue in wider terms than personal religion or ideology. Biden himself is anti-abortion (Catholicism), or he was until very recently, but he also understands it's not his place to hand over control of women's bodies to the government. There's a clear distinction between the judges nominated by both parties.
Judicial appointments are political in nature, so right wing repubs nominate extreme judges, and democrat centrists, nominate centrists.
