The president (executive branch) nominates judges to the Supreme Court. If the Congress approves the nomination, the nominee becomes a member of the Supreme Court. So, the Supreme Court depends on the executive for its members.
Checks and balances
Supreme Court justices in the United States are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The President typically selects a nominee based on their legal qualifications, ideology, and potential impact on the court. After nomination, the Senate Judiciary Committee holds confirmation hearings to evaluate the nominee's qualifications and vote on whether to recommend them to the full Senate. If confirmed by a majority vote in the Senate, the nominee becomes a Supreme Court justice.
Also in 1991, the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas became the center of a controversial firestorm related to a sexual harassment charge.
Maybe whether the nominee can garner enough votes from the Senate to be appointed to the Court.
A man or woman can get onto the Supreme Court by being nominated by the current United States President if there is a vacancy for a judge available. Once the President chooses his/her nominee the Senate must confirm the nomination before the individual can be appointed to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme court ruled out the teaching of religion in public schools and segregation.
Whenever the Supreme Court upholds the right of one group to the free exercise of its religion, it could be argued that the Court limits the right of another group that considers the free exercise of its own religion to be to influence the beliefs of others.
