The Supreme Court acts as the highest level of appelate courts in the United States.  They have the final say in any case that they choose to hear.\n\nAlso, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in certain types of cases involving certain kinds of Conctitutional issues and disputes between states.\n\nSupreme Court justices are appointed for life.  Senators are elected to 6 year terms.  Senators offices are divided into 3 classes, appropriately named Class I, Class II and Class III.  Every even numbered year, one of the classes is up for re-election.\n\nSo this year (2006 in case you're not paying attention)  one class (I think it's class III) will be elected.  In 2008, the next class is elected, and so on.\n\nThe elections that occur between Presidential elections (2006 for example) are referred to as Mid-Term elections, and usually get less attention, and therefore, more incumbant re-elections.

There are nine seats on the United States Supreme Court. You must be nominated by the President of the United States, and confirmed by a majority in the U.S. Senate. Justices are appointed for life (except in cases of retirement or impeachment).\nIt is not necessary for that person to have experience as a judge (George W. Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?ei=UTF-8&fl=0&fr=slv5-&p=harriet+miers+%22supreme+court%22<br />\nis not the first time a non-judge has been nominated), just a solid legal mind. Generally when a President chooses a nominee, he will look for someone whose ideals and worldview match his own. Gerald Ford famously did not make an idealogical choice when he appointed John Paul Stevens (http://www.supremecourthistory.org/04_library/subs_volumes/04_c11_f.html) <br />\nand in subsequent years was rather disappointed at some of Stevens' decisions. \nThere is a lot more information at the official Supreme Court site: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/

And what's so interesting about that? All the currently seated Supreme Court justices had enough votes for confirmation. That's the way it works.

None! The Constitution has no provisions on the matter. As to previous poster your refering to the rule for Senators & President. Not the Justices....

Whoever the President chooses. Traditionally, it is the Chief Justice. In fact, it doesn't have to be a member of the supreme court, just a federal judge (Johnson was sworn in on the plane to Dallas following Kennedy's death by a Sarah T. Hughes, a federal judge).\n\nDuring the last inauguration, it was widely believed that Chief Justice Rehnquist would not be available due to his health, and there were plans to have Justice Scalia or Justice Thomas administer the oath.
