The President appoints the judge and then is put before a committee of congress people who recommend to deny or accept the nominated person and the vote is put before an assembly of both the House and the Senate.

Judges are selected by the president. They then attend confirmation hearings - where they are approved or disapproved. If approved, the nomination goes before the full senate for a vote . This process is call "Advise and Consent".
Most Presidential nominees get approved - sometimes after "heated debate" - but there have been a few occasions when the nominee was not selected. If the debate is very hot and "testy" - the nominee may withdraw from the position.

The president selects a person he believes can represent the values of the administration. The nominee is then brought before congress, specifically the senate, and is asked questions in an attempt to understand the nominee better and to decide on the viability of the person as a high justice and what kind of Judaical rulings s/he would make. The questions range from "whats your favorite sport", to "would you overturn Roe Vs Wade?" Later after deliberation the senate votes on wither or not to confirm the nominee.
Recently confirmation hearings have been questioned themselves as many see them as being used by senators as free air time.

A list of nominees is submitted to the President. He looks them over and submits his choice to the nomination committee (a committee made up of both parties) who rip him apart limb from limb to see if they can trip him up. Which most nominees can pretty much sleep through. Most selectees are more intelligent while they are asleep than most politicians are awake........The committee fights, they posture, they get sound bites, lots of press, then they take a vote, which was pretty much decided before all the brouhaha, then it goes to the congress for the full vote where all the posturing, fights, etc...etc.... start all over again. This a good time for these politicians to get lots of free press. Then they vote and the selectee is then part of the Supreme Court. Thank God it's a life time post.
