Do the senators and members of the house of representatives serve longer than supreme court justice?

Some have.
Justices are appointed with the expectation that they will serve until they die or choose to retire, while Senators and Representatives are elected for periods of 6 and 2 years respectively.
However, Senators and Representatives can be reelected at the end of their terms; the number of people who have been "reelected" from death is extremely low.
The longest-serving (so far) Supreme Court Justice has been William O. Douglas, who served for about 36 and a half years.
This pales compared to the longest-serving Senator, Robert Byrd, who served over 51 years (and another 6 years in the House prior to that).
The longest-serving Representative is John D. Dingell, who has served 56 years so far and is still (at the time of this writing in March 2011) in office.
