Once appointed, Supreme Court Justices serve for life, or until they retire.

A Supreme Court Justice serves at the pleasure of the President. It is a lifetime appointment.

Sadly it is for life. That is why George Bush's harm to the country will outlive him. He has appointed some of the worst people to the court in its history.

Til death or when they decide to retire which would be the next time the party who appointed them wins the elections.
