The Supreme Court consists of one Chief Justice (judge) and eight associate justices. They are nominated by the president when vacancies occur, and the president's nominees are confirmed by the Senate. If a nominee is denied confirmation, the president must submit another until the position is filled. Once confirmed, Supreme Court justices have their positions for life, or until they resign or are removed from office through a process of impeachment.

∙ 8y agoThere are NINE "justices" on the US Supreme Court. They are appointed by the President and confirmed by the US Senate. It is a lifetime appointment, although justices may "retire" from the bench for reasons of health or advanced age. As judges die or leave the court, new justices are selected to replace them.
There is a single "Chief Justice of the United States" to administer and coordinate the court, and EIGHT "Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States." Their decisions are decided by majority vote, although dissenting legal views may be provided by those that disagree with the decision of the majority.
