Most judges on the state and local levels are elected, but judges on the federal level are appointed.
When there is a vacancy on the federal level, from Circuit Courts to the Supreme Court, due to retirement or death, the President considers people who are available and qualified to do the job.
From these people the President selects one to nominate for the position.
It is then the Senate’s job to consider the nominee, and vote to confirm or reject the nominee for the position.
In the case of the current Senate, however, they consider not doing their jobs as their jobs.
And now a word from a sponsor.
