He is expected to be confirmed this month.  He will take over for retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.  He will not be able to rule on any cases that has been heard by the court with Justice O'Connor.  Those cases might have to be reheard by the court if there is a tie, since only 8 members of the court can vote on those cases.

This is baffling me as well. I'm not feeling well enough for indepth reading, but one of these might answer your question. \n\nMy best understanding at the time is that the senate, however much of it, appoints a presiding officer, but, if that's correct, from where I do not know. \n\nFoxNews has a judicial analyst, Andrew P. Napolitano, who might be able to answer your question. I do not know his e-mail address, nor can I find a home page for him. Hopefully, an e-mail to him through the FoxNews website will result in an answer your question if the resources I gave do not.

(taken directly from Wikipedia; words within < > are linked under sources):\n\nThe Constitution does not specify the size of the Supreme Court; instead, Congress has the power to fix the number of Justices. Originally, the total number of Justices was set at six by the <Judiciary Act of 1789>. As the country grew geographically, the number of Justices steadily increased. The court was expanded to seven members in 1807, nine in 1837 and ten in 1863. \n\nIn 1866, however, Congress wished to deny President Andrew Johnson any Supreme Court appointments, and therefore passed the <Judicial Circuits Act>, which provided that the next three Justices to retire would not be replaced; thus, the size of the Court would eventually reach seven by attrition. Consequently, one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867. By the <Circuit Judges Act of 1869>, the number of Justices was again set at nine (the Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices), where it has remained ever since. \n\nINTERESTING NOTE: President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to expand the Court (see Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937); his plan would have allowed the President to appoint one new, additional justice for every justice who reached the age of seventy but did not retire from the bench, until the Court reached a maximum size of fifteen justices. Ostensibly, this was to ease the burdens of the docket on the elderly judges, but it was widely believed that the President's actual purpose was to add Justices who would favor his New Deal policies, which had been regularly ruled unconstitutional by the Court. The plan failed in Congress and the court changed course (see the switch in time that saved nine). In any case, Roosevelt's long tenure in the White House allowed him to appoint a large number of Justices.

There are 9 justices on the Supreme Court and each has a life appointment...they'll keep their job until they die or choose to retire.  When there is an opening on the court nominees are named by the President and then the Senate decides whether or not to confirm the nomination.  After that, they're on the court.  As far as each individual justice goes, the best information is directly from the source:  http://www.supremecourtus.gov/about/biographiescurrent.pdf

The United States Constitution does not specify the size of the Supreme Court; instead, Congress has the power to fix the number of Justices. Originally, the total number of Justices was set at six by the Judiciary Act of 1789. As the country grew geographically, the number of Justices steadily increased to correspond with the growing number of judicial circuits. The court was expanded to seven members in 1807, nine in 1837 and ten in 1863. In 1866, however, Congress wished to deny President Andrew Johnson any Supreme Court appointments, and therefore passed the Judicial Circuits Act, which provided that the next three Justices to retire would not be replaced; thus, the size of the Court would eventually reach seven by attrition. Consequently, one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867. The Circuit Judges Act of 1869 again set the number of judges at nine (the Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices), where it has remained ever since.\n\nPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to expand the Court in his proposed Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937. His plan would have allowed the President to appoint one new, additional justice for every justice who reached the age of seventy but did not retire from the bench, until the Court reached a maximum size of fifteen justices. Ostensibly, this was to ease the burdens of the docket on the elderly judges, but it was widely believed that the President's actual purpose was to add Justices who would favor his New Deal policies, which had been regularly ruled unconstitutional by the Court. This plan, referred to often as the Court Packing Plan, failed in Congress. The Court, however, moved from its opposition to Roosevelt's New Deal programs, rendering the President's effort moot (see the switch in time that saved nine). In any case, Roosevelt's long tenure in the White House allowed him to appoint eight Justices to the Supreme Court and promote one Associate Justice to Chief Justice; upon his death in 1945, all but one of the Court's members were his appointees.

yes supreme court justices should have term limits because if they are automatically in for life or retirement then forward progress will be slower because of the nostalgic ideals of the justice modern problems deserve the attention of modern people as one gets older they tend to become more stubborn in their beliefs and policy will change at an absurdly slow rate.
