Good question! Actually, only some judges belong to the Judicial Branch of the US government. The Judicial Branch includes only those federal courts established under Article III of the Constitution:US District CourtsUS Court of International TradeUS Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsSupreme Court of the United StatesThere are many other courts in the federal judiciary, such as US Tax Court, US Bankruptcy Court, US Court of Claims, all the military courts, administrative courts for government agencies, and so on. These courts and tribunals were established under Congress' authority in Article I of the Constitution. None of those judges are part of the Judicial Branch, even though they are all part of the federal court system.State judges, of course, belong to the Judicial Branch of their individual states, but not to the Judicial Branch of the US federal government.
The Judicial Branch of Government appoints Federal judges.
The judicial branch of government is the federal courts, mainly the Supreme Court. The courts interpret the laws that the legislative branch passes.
The Executive Branch (specifically the President) only nominates Article III (constitutional) federal judges and US Bankruptcy court (Article I) judges, with the "advice and consent" of the Senate (Legislative Branch).The President isn't involved in the appointment of all federal judges, however. Most judges outside the Judicial Branch, which consists of the US District Courts, US Court of International Trade, US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, and US Supreme Court, are placed on the court by different means.
