I think there's an additional reason why the supreme court has become increasingly politicized: dysfunction in the legislative branch. Because congress has significant incentives to ensure that no one gets a victory, it rarely accomplishes anything meaningful outside emergencies. That leaves the other two branches of government as avenues for change, so we have a politicized judiciary and an ever-more-powerful executive.
