Appointment of justices is based on whichever party is in control of the executive and/or the legislative branch. However, justices are not supposed to be nominated based on their party affiliation. Former President Trump based all of his nominations on party affiliation, as well as their affiliation to a party-allied organization called The Federalist Society. Because of this ideological bent the Supreme Court is an additional battle site in the war to save our democracy. (For more see post Why Is It A Partisan Fight.)
