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.
The President of the United States is the chief of the executive branch, congress and voters are the leaders of the legislative branch, and each judge in the supreme court on the Judicial branch of government are appointed by congress and voters like you.
