Political impartiality is a myth. All actors have motives and biases. We should strive to build a robust system that has the fail-safes to prevent bad actors from doing things like:
Gerrymandering districts to disenfranchise their political opponents
Appointing political allies to lifelong terms controlling the justice system
Allowing corporate money into politics and the treatment of corporations as people
Using pardons for cronyism
A fair system is not an apolitical one, it is a very political one, with strong convictions and ideals about the rights of its citizens, such that they are unalienable.
