Supreme Court Nominee Confirmation Process

The Supreme Court nominee confirmation process involves the President selecting a nominee, who is usually a judge or legal scholar. This nominee then undergoes a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, where they answer questions about their qualifications and judicial philosophy. After the hearing, the Committee votes on whether to recommend the nominee to the full Senate. The Senate then holds a vote; if the majority approves, the nominee is confirmed and appointed to the Supreme Court. This process is intended to ensure that nominees are qualified and can uphold the rule of law.
