Not officially. The US Supreme Court is supposed to be de-politicized, which is one of the primary reasons justices are appointed for life and insulated from concerns about partisan politics and elections.
Supreme Court justices are human, however, and each has his or her own personal ideology that conforms more or less closely to the ideology of a particular political party. Conservative justices are currently more likely to be Republican, while progressive justices are more likely to be Democrat.
