How does the Senate Judiciary Committee pick a justice?

The Senate Judiciary Committee doesn't select a nominee to the US Supreme Court; that is the US President's responsibility. The Judiciary Committee investigates the candidate, poses both written and oral questions to him or her, and holds a hearing to determine whether they believe the nominee is suitably qualified and appropriate to serve on the Supreme Court.After the Judiciary Committee has completed its investigation, they vote whether to send the candidate to the floor for a full Senate vote with the Committee's recommendation for or against approval. Occasionally, the Senators are unable to reach a majority decision and vote to withhold a recommendation.The Senate then decides by a simple majority vote whether to confirm or reject the nominee.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
