The Rule of Four means four of the nine justices must agree to hear a case in order for it to be accepted on appeal. If four or more justices think the case is worth the Court's time, then the Supreme Court will issue a writ of certiorari to the lower court ordering them to send the case files to the Supreme Court, and the case will be placed on the docket.
One. Clarence Thomas, who was nominated by George H. W. Bush in 1991, was the second African-American on the Court nominated to the US Supreme Court. He replaced Justice Thurgood Marshall (1967-1991), the first African-American to serve as Supreme Court Justice, upon Marshall's retirement.There have only been two African-Americans on the US Supreme Court to date.
No. Most justices were in their 40s or 50s when nominated to the Court, and nominations are typically staggered, so the Court seats a number of justices younger than 70 every Term. Although there is no mandatory retirement age, and members often serve until late in life, there has never been a time when all US Supreme Court justices were over the age of 70.You may be thinking of the "Nine Old Men" of President Roosevelt's era. During Roosevelt's first, and part of his second, term of office, six of the nine justices were over the age of 70. Although it annoyed Roosevelt when the older, more conservative Court overturned his New Deal policies, he was partially responsible for their refusal to retire. Roosevelt supported legislation that reduced their retirement pension by half.
ALL lower courts, both state and federal, can be reviewed by the Supreme Court. Every court in the nation is subordinate to the US Supreme Court.
The question is a little misleading. No President successfully packed the US Supreme Court. President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a bill in 1937 that would have added one justice to the Supreme Court for each sitting justice over the age of 70.5, to a maximum of six justices, which would have increased the size of the Court from nine to fifteen. This was known as the "Court-Packing Plan," but it never got through Congress. The Senate sent the bill to its Judiciary Committee where it died, so FDR never got to "pack" the Court.The reason Roosevelt was interested in adding justices to the Supreme Court went farther than attempting to overturn a single ruling. The nine justices opposed FDR's New Deal legislation and believed much of it was unconstitutional; they overturned six pieces of New Deal legislation and closed a government agency in the process. Roosevelt hoped appointing extra justices would dilute the conservative vote and allow him to proceed with his economic plan for the country.
This depends on which supreme court. Reask your question specifying the state/country, or see related questions. US Supreme Court: There are 9 Justices on the US Supreme Court.

in the US Supreme Court, life

Federal (US) Supreme Court judges are called "justices." The Supreme Court of the United States has one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices, for a total of nine justices. State supreme court vary in the number of judges seated on their highest appellate court, and are also inconsistent with titles. Some states call them "judges," while others refer to them as "justices."

yes"the us supreme court justices reflect and support the political agenda
All 112 justices in the history of the US Supreme Court (as of 2011) have been lawyers.
Not exactly. The President nominates US Supreme Court justices, but the Senate must approve their appointment.
Because then people know right away the difference. Justices=Supreme Court. Judges=Normal Courts acting under the Supreme Court.
