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.

No, because it has nothing to do with the relative power and jurisdiction between state and federal government. The Senate approving a presidential appointment is an example of the system of "checks and balances" in our federal government. Requiring Senate approval of presidential appointments, prevents the executive branch of government from having too much power over who shall be judges, ambassadors and other federal officials.
Justices reach the Supreme Court through appointment by the President with Senate approval

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.
