Open seat elections are the highest rate of money being tied to election success. Almost always in this scenario the candidate that spends the most money wins.
If the president nominates a candidate for the supreme court, the senate has got the power to accept or reject this candidate.
This comes out of the provision of the constitution, that the senate shall have the powers to accept or reject president nominations to the executive and judicial branches.
A supreme court candidate falls under the judicial branches.
