Supreme Court appointments
Supreme Court appointments involve selecting justices to serve on the highest court in the U.S. constitutional system. The President nominates candidates, often considering their legal experience and judicial philosophy. The Senate then reviews these nominees through hearings and votes to confirm or reject them. Once confirmed, justices serve lifetime appointments, shaping landmark decisions on laws and rights. The process balances executive and legislative roles, ensuring the Court reflects a diverse range of perspectives while maintaining its independence and integrity.
