No. Not at all. Justices make no promises when they are appointed and they are on their own once they are on the job. Some have been a great surprise with their views once they got on the court.

What branch of government can prevent the President from controlling the Supreme Court?

The Legislative branch checks the President's influence over the Supreme Court because nominations to the Court can only be appointed with the "advice and consent" (simple majority vote) of the Senate. If the President and majority in Senate represent different parties, this prevents the President from nominating someone whose ideology is too extreme.

Does a justice appointed to the US Supreme Court have to belong to the same political party as the President by whom the justice was selected?

No. The President may nominate anyone he (or she) feels is qualified to fill the position, but would want to select someone who has similar ideology and constitutional beliefs in order to extend the President's influence over government. That usually means nominating someone from his own party, since the people from the other party typically hold opposite beliefs.Justice Sotomayor, whom President Obama appointed to the Supreme Court in 2009, is registered as an Independent (no party affiliation) and Obama is a Democrat.

Are the justices on the US Supreme Court Democrat or Republican?

US Supreme Court justices do not advertise their party affiliation because they're not supposed to consider partisan ideology when making decisions. Unfortunately, in the real world, ideology plays a major role in constitutional interpretation and decision-making. The current Court leans toward conservatism: five justices were appointed by Republican Presidents and often support the Republican agenda; four were appointed by Democratic Presidents and typically support a more liberal agenda. Sonia Sotomayor, one of President Barack Obama's Supreme Court appointees, has stated she's registered as an Independent.
