Supreme Court Appointments

Give me a few supreme court appointments, and it'll be whatever I want it to be.

Supreme-Court appointments come to mind.

It's weird that the article says which president nominated which judge to the court.

We're talking about supreme court justices...

No can do. The majority of justices on the Supreme Court were hand selected by the Federalist Society specifically to prevent that, and they have the rest of their lives to exercise their absolute and uncheckable power towards that end.

Some Supreme Court justices as well :)

Many judges in the US have lifetime appointments. This is one reason it was so damaging (depending on your point of view) when congress refused to confirm Obama’s judicial nominees, then rammed through a record number under Trump.It led to Trump boasting that the judges would just tilt the scales on the election for him if the count said he lost (that didn’t work out), and the current large crop of new abortion bans working their way up to the (in his words), “Trump judge” federal courts.

Stacking the court with appointees? Something the US will never do.

Judges are supposed to be impartial but they're still just human. Moreover even when they are perfectly impartial (and the US is more lucky than they appreciate in how professional their federal judiciary is, particularly compared to the other branches) there are different kinds of judicial philosophies that can influence how laws are interpreted (which is particularly important since the US operates under a common law system) so these currents can be classified as broadly embraced by liber

That would be incorrect, unless you are talking about a regular federal judge and not a Supreme Court justice. In the latter case, it was a rule the Republicans changed in 2017 to benefit themselves.
