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.
