Judge, Supreme Court, from 3rd January, Appellate jurisdiction accounts for most of the cases on the court's docket, and is "The power of a court to hear appeals from lower courts. This includes the power to reverse or modify the the [ sic ] lower court's decision. In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.

In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make. The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

Article II, Section 2 of the U. Constitution gives the President of the United States the authority to nominate Supreme Court justices, and they are appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate. Senate on October 26, The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Although the rules for appointing and confirming a U. Supreme Court justice are set out in the U. Constitution, the process for choosing nominees is not codified in law. Past presidents have received lists of recommendations from the White House counsel, the attorney general and lawyers in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel.

Justices have often been friends or acquaintances who shared ideological views with the president. The nominating process is also influenced by individuals and organizations outside of the administration. Some presidents have required that a nominee hold a specific position on a key issue in order to be considered for nomination, sometimes referred to as a litmus test. Such a test is typically on an important social issue. But a nominee's views do not always conform to their future opinions.

Some justices have ruled in ways that surprised the presidents who nominated them. Notable examples are Justice Tom C. Clark nominated by President Harry S. The usual nomination process starts with the president choosing a nominee. It is not uncommon for the president to consult Senate leadership and the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee before deciding on a nominee.

The nominee also visits with senators in their offices in order to help win support for nomination. The most public aspect of the process is when the nominee testifies before the Judiciary Committee and takes questions. The hearing, which is kept open at the discretion of the chair, can last more than a day, as members, particularly opponents, verbally spar with the nominee. Having the nominee appear before the committee became a part of the process beginning with the nomination of John M.

Harlan in Typically, a week after the hearing is adjourned, the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a vote on the nominee. The debate in the Senate is scheduled by the Senate majority leader in consultation with the minority leader.

In , the Senate lowered the threshold to close debate on most nominations to a simple majority from 60 votes. But the change did not affect Supreme Court nominees, whose confirmation requires 60 votes to invoke cloture and end debate and proceed to a confirmation vote.

The president also may choose to make a recess appointment, which would avoid the need for Senate confirmation.

But the justice's term would end with the end of the next session of Congress, rather than the lifetime appointments provided by Senate confirmation. There have been 12 recess appointments made to the Supreme Court, most in the 19th century, according to the Congressional Research Service. The most recent was made by President Dwight D. Constitution requires the individual to take an oath of office before officially taking his or her place on the court.

Nominees must also take a judicial oath. Each Supreme Court justice is assigned to one of the 13 circuit courts of appeals , according to Title 28, United States Code, Section In the case motions for a stay of execution or other motions relating to death penalty matters, the Circuit Justice ordinarily refers the motion to the Court as a whole, but takes the lead in recommending a disposition of the motion," according to SCOTUSblog.

Although the justices do not represent political parties, media outlets such as The Washington Post commonly characterize Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor as liberal and Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas as conservative. Supreme Court scholars have also developed measures of the justices' political ideologies, such as the Segal-Cover score.

The Segal-Cover score, which was first presented in a paper by State University of New York-Stony Brook professors Jeffrey Segal and Albert Cover, is based on an analysis of newspaper editorials published between the time of each justice's nomination to the Supreme Court and his or her confirmation by the U. Scores range from 0, which is the most conservative, to , which is the most liberal. On April 9, , the court announced it would hear oral arguments via teleconference for its April and May sittings.
