I've discovered that judges tend to speak pretty formally in TV and movies while in reality they often use plain english. As a layman I also find many legal decisions more readable than I expected.

That's how judges usually talk on the bench. Actual written opinions are much more formal.

My impression has been that in the recent years US judges have become political activists (and make rulings accordingly) rather than impartial arbiters of law, particularly in jurisdictions with significant political bias.

There are many colorful figures in the district and circuit courts, of all political stripes.
