I assume you're asking about the branch of government, Executive, Legislative, or Judicial. The Judicial is the supreme court, with nine justices (the words judicial and justice come from the same root, see).
The justices on the US Supreme Court do not even always agree with themselves on issues regarding the US Constitution. Even justices recommended by the US President and approved by the US Senate may have disagreements with the president who nominated them.
The State of Texas has two courts of last resort (state supreme courts): The Supreme Court of Texas is the highest appellate court for juvenile and civil cases; The Court of Criminal Appeals is the highest appellate court for criminal cases. Although only one is called the "Supreme Court" they function at the same appellate level.
Federal are often elected by voters or appointed by the president without approval of congress. Supreme Court judges are appointed with approval of congress and are on the court until they retire, die, or impeached.
supreme court justices are appointed by the president . The president will normally pick a person who he feels to be more qualified candidate but also someone whose views are same as the president. a president can only nominate a person for supreme court justice during the term in which he is serving and only if a spot on the supreme court is available. he cannot unseat a sitting justice to appoint a new person.
As of July 31, 2010, the US Supreme Court has six male justices and two female justices. If Elena Kagan is confirmed to succeed retired Justice John Paul Stevens, the Court will have six men (66.6%) and three women (33.3%). If Kagan is seated, this will be the first time in history three women have been on the Supreme Court bench at the same time.
as of 2013, yes. But only by a majority of 5 to 4.
