judicial nominations

Judicial nominations refer to the process by which judges are appointed to the judiciary, particularly in the United States. The President selects candidates for federal judgeships, including Supreme Court justices, based on their qualifications and judicial philosophy. These nominations are then reviewed and must be confirmed by the Senate. This process ensures a system of checks and balances, as it involves both the executive and legislative branches of government. The nominated judges serve lifetime appointments, which means they can influence the law and legal interpretations for many years, shaping the judicial landscape of the country.
