How does someone become a Supreme Court justice?

[Edit]

Answer

The process of becoming a Supreme Court Justice is the same as becoming a Federal judge. The president nominates a candidate through a list of preselected candidates. The preselected list of candidates is usually recommended by people in the president's political party or by members of legislation (House of Representatives, and Congress), usually it's a combination of both. After a candidate has been selected, the Senate Judicial Committee conducts hearings (questing) on the candidate. The hearing is meant to determine whether the candidate is qualified and suitable for the position. It is highly unlikely that a candidate will be rejected and has occurred 12 times in US history.
