The U.S. Senate confirms the appointment all federal judges including the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The legislative branch is not designed to check the judicial branch. In fact, it is the opposite the judicial branch checks the legislative.
If I'm not mistaken, the three organ of the state are the legislature, the executive and the judiciary.
The judiciary interprets laws that were passed by the legislature, the executive enforces the laws that were passed by the legislature. The judiciary however is appointed by the executive and confirmed by the legislature. Any unconstitutional acts by any other branches of government can be declared as so by the judiciary only, which is called judicial review.
The other arms of government provide check for executive power. The legislature which makes laws and the judiciary which interprets the law provide a check for executive power.
Legislature, executive and judiciary are the 3 systems or arms of power. The legislature (parliament) has the power to make or change laws. The judiciary (court) has the power to make judgements on if a person has broken a law or not. The executive eg. police, have the power to enforce laws. Neither of these arms of power can misuse their powers. eg. the legislature cannot decide if a person is guilty or not, neither can the judiciary enforce laws.

Independence of Judiciary means that it is not under the control of the legislature or the executive. the judges do not act on the direction of the government or according to the wishes of the party in power. That is why all modern democracies have courts that are independent of the legislature and the executive.
