Judicial Branch!

On fridays presentation I learned a lot about the Supreme Court.  I learned that the judges that are in the Supreme Court are nominated by the president, but that doesn't mean that they are definitely a judge.  For them to become a judge they have to be approved by the Senate. There are usually nine judges on the Supreme Court at once, although there doesn't have to be.  Even though there doesn't have to be nine judges, there always has to an odd number of judges because then they can come to a decision.  William O Douglas is the longest serving judge in the Supreme Court with 36 years of service.  Sonia Sotomayor is the newest judge in the Supreme Court.
