Answer:

Answer in below

Step-by-step explanation:

The lifetime appointment is designed to ensure that the justices are insulated from political pressure and that the court can serve as a truly independent branch of government. Justices can't be fired if they make unpopular decisions, in theory allowing them to focus on the law rather than politics.
