Federal judges are judges appointed by a federal level of government as opposed to the state / provincial / local level

A legislator is a person who writes and passes laws, especially someone who is a member of a legislature. Legislators are usually politicians and are often elected by the people.

This answer only compares Article III (constitutional) federal judges with members of Congress:

  1. Members of Congress are elected by popular vote; federal judges are appointed (nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate).
  2. Members of Congress serve renewable fixed terms: 2 years for the House of Representatives; 6 years for the Senate. Federal judges receive lifetime appointments.

What are the differences between a British Member of Parliament and a member of the US House of Representatives?

A Member of Parliament is expected to vote with the party leader's position. It's not a "maybe", its an expectation. In the US House of Representatives, there is much loyalty to the voters who elected him or her to Congress. There is also a degree of loyalty to one's state and lastly, to be loyal to their political party.
