There are two excellent sources for locating the US Supreme Court's opinions and decisions. Justia Beta has a searchable database of all cases, by year or by volume, from 1791 to the present. The Supreme Court maintains updated records on slip opinions for the current Term that may be too new for Justia's database.
Other sites, such as FindLaw and Oyez are also excellent resources, but I prefer Justia because they have logged the concurring and dissenting opinions for most cases, along with the Court decision, which helps the reader understand both sides of a case.
Despite criticism often directed at it, Wikipedia is also a good site for information on cases from the Supreme Court. The articles for most cases are quite detailed, and include the details of the case, background, decision and opinions of the Court, related cases, and several other areas of importance.
There are several good websites where you can find Supreme Court case information, including how the individual Justices voted on a particular case. Oyez.org offers excellent summary analysis on past cases, and you can find current slip opinions on more recent cases on the Supreme Court's own website.

Five of the nine justices are typically considered conservative (Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Kennedy), while four are considered reliably liberal (Justices Stevens, Ginsburg, Breyer and Sotomayor). Justice Kennedy, although classified as a conservative, has voted with the liberal faction on some cases, making him the unpredictable swing vote that helps balance the Court.
It requires the vote of at least four of the nine US Supreme Court justices to grant a petition for writ of certiorari. If four Justices agree, the Supreme Court will accept the case. This is referred to as the "Rule of Four."
The Executive Branch could nominate judges in the Supreme Court, while the Legislative Branch had to appoint the judges, could kick them out of the Court, and could determine whether a law is unconstitutional.
On today's Court (2009), a 5-4 vote most likely means the Justices voted by political ideology, with Justice Kennedy as the swing vote. Split votes are common right now because the Court is ideologically polarized.
Yes. Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are appointed by the President, and confirmed by a vote in the Senate. However, ordinary citizens do not take part in this process.

The Justices of the US Supreme Court. Impeachment is voted on by Congress.
The President submits his choice to be a Supreme Court Justice for approval to the Congress. If the Congress does not vote for approval, (and there have been times when they voted against the President's choices), the person does not become a Supreme Court Justice and the President has to select someone else and have that person voted for by the Congress.

No. Recusal (disqualifying oneself from a case) for conflict of interest is a voluntary action; justices cannot be penalized for refusing to do so. Unfortunately, this has lead to situations where justices have heard -- and voted on -- cases in which they should not have been involved.
