There are two kinds of changes: physical and chemical. Physical properties can change without changing the substance, while chemical properties do change the substance.

Physical properties, like you said mass or texture, can change without changing the substance because the properties don't change the fundamental state of the subject; it doesn't change anything like atoms or molecules.

For example, when you freeze water to make ice, it's a physical change. The water goes from a liquid state to a solid state. But, the substance isn't changed: the compound is still H2O whether it's water or ice.

Another example would be cutting a cake. You make a physical change by cutting a slice out of the cake: you make it smaller. However, afterwards, the cake is still a cake. You didn't turn it into a pie or a muffin; it stayed the same thing, a cake, while just getting smaller.

Explanation:

Federal judges, who are the ones that are that preside over the Supreme Court proceedings and evaluate laws, are indeed nominated by the President, by the U.S. Senate, and appointed for an indefinite period providing they maintain "good behavior" or until they decide to retain, as Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides:

he (The President) shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States.

And as Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution states:

The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior

With this latter provision, the Constitution guarantees that judges make decisions and evaluate statutes according to what is right under the law, and not according to popular's opinion or political pressure. This way, judges don’t have to fear that they will be fired if they make an unpopular decision.
