The process by which congressional representatives are allocated to states
The appointment of the Supreme Court justices involves a number of steps that are set of the constitution of the United States. The Justices are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. The Senate Judiciary Committee usually has a series of hearings which calls upon the nominee and other witnesses to answer questions and make statements.

The US President, who is head of the Executive branch, nominates (selects) US Supreme Court justices. They must then be approved by a simple majority (51%) of the Senate (Legislative branch). If the Senate votes in favor of the nominee, then the President makes the appointment.
Justices reach the Supreme Court through appointment by the President with Senate approval
Not exactly. The President nominates US Supreme Court justices, but the Senate must approve their appointment.
The US president appoints the justice and the US Senate approves the appointment.

there are about how mean justices on the Supreme Court.
There are no current Supreme Court justices who were recess appointments. However, President George Washington appointed John Rutledge as Chief Justice in a recess appointment; his appointment was later rejected by the Senate. President Eisenhower also made three recess appointments to the Supreme Court, all of whom were later confirmed by the Senate.
An appointment to the United States Supreme Court is for life; however, justices can be impeached for bad behavior, just as any other government official can be. In the case of the Supreme Court, this hasn't happened. Justices sometimes retire, but are more likely to die in office than retire. Some states have fixed terms for Supreme Court justices; for example, California.
No. The electoral college casts the official ballots in a Presidential election. US Supreme Court justices are not elected; they are appointed by the President and must be approved by the Senate.
No, a person must be a United States citizen at the time of their appointment to the Supreme Court. The Constitution requires that federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, be "nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate." Being born outside of the United States would disqualify someone from being eligible for appointment to the Supreme Court.
