Who appoints federal judges in USA?
Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate, as stated in the Constitution. The names of potential nominees often are recommended by senators or sometimes members of the House who are of the President’s political party. The Senate Judiciary Committee typically conducts confirmation hearings for each nominee. Article III of the Constitution states that these judicial officers are appointed for a life term. The federal Judiciary, the Judicial Conference of the United States, and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts play no role in the nomination and confirmation process. http://www.uscourts.gov/faq.html 2 March 2010 at 9:28 pm bionicwoman said: @ali000 _ you are definitely a sexist..though I wonder what have I written on such a serious topic like appt of judges which exhibits my amorous feelings for the Anchor…I remember it was you previously who was in love with a young woman
