List of Nominations to the Supreme Court of the United States

This page is a list of nominations to the Supreme Court of the United States. The nomination, confirmation, and appointment of Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States involves several steps set forth by the United States Constitution. If a justice retires, the President nominates a replacement, who can be anyone, which then must be confirmed by the United States Senate with a majority vote. Unlike normal bills, the vote lasts 48 hours.
