The most important judicial appointment President Adams had made before leaving office was the choice of John Marshall as chief justice of the United States. He was more responsible than any other justice for making the Supreme Court into a powerful, independent branch of the federal government.
Thurgood Marshall was appointed by President John F. Kennedy to be a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. After that, he was appointed to be the 32nd US Solicitor General by Lyndon B. Johnson. President Johnson later appointed him to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
President George HW Bush nominated Justice Clarence Thomas to the US Supreme Court in 1991.
Federalist President John Adams hastily appointed 42 justices of the peace to new judicial positions Congress created in the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801. These men became known as the Midnight Judges, because the Act passed just a few days before the end of Adams' administration, and Adams hastily nominated members of the Federalist party for all the positions.For more information on Marbury v. Madison, (1803), see Related Questions, below.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court performs this function at planned inauguration ceremonies. If the president dies and the vice-president has to be sworn unexpectedly, the oath may be administered by anyone legally able to administer an oath- such as a judge, or even a Justice of the Peace.

The President has the sole power to nominate a candidate for a position as a US Supreme Court Justice. The candidate is examined by the Senate and, if approved, his or her appointment is made for life.
Appointment of US Supreme Court justices is a collaborative effort between the President (Executive branch) and the Senate (Legislative branch). The President nominates a candidate to fill a vacancy on the bench, and the Senate votes whether to confirm or reject the nomination.Historically, the President is usually credited with the appointment, so Justice Sotomayor was appointed by President Barrack Obama, head of the Executive branch of government.
Associate Justices are appointed by the President, with the advice and consent (approval) of the Senate, the same as the Chief Justice. The President who appointed the most justices was George Washington, with ten (actually eleven, but one declined his appointment).
