Justices are made independent of Congress, the president, and the electorate primarily through lifetime appointments, as established by the U.S. Constitution. This means they can serve for life, barring impeachment, allowing them to make decisions free from political pressures. Additionally, their salaries cannot be diminished during their tenure, further insulating them from external influence. This structure is designed to uphold judicial impartiality and protect the rule of law.

He can appoint Justices, but they have to be approved by congress.
The constitution requires that supreme court justices be approved after the president nominates them by "advice and consent". Therefore, the congress can deny the candidate put forth by the president.
FDR tried to do this, but since the president would get to choose the new members congress didn't pass it.
The voters of Texas elect justices to the Texas Supreme Court. I don't know about other states. Justices to the U. S. Supreme Court are appointed by the President and approved by Congress.
No. They are appointed by the President, but must be approved by a simple majority vote of the Senate.
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.
