Question

Select the four statements that are true. The Claims Court is a part of the judiciary system Nine justices serve in the Supreme Court. There are 12 courts of appeal in the judiciary system. Federal judges are voted to the Supreme Court by a national election. Federal judges on the Supreme Court serve for life.

Answer 1

These are the four true statements:

• The Claims Court is a part of the judiciary system.
• Nine justices serve on the Supreme Court.  
• There are 12 courts of appeal in the judiciary system.
• Federal judges on the Supreme Court serve for life.

Detail:

• The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims is a federal court which has jurisdiction to review decisions made by the Board of Veterans' Appeals, in regard to decisions made about whether veterans of armed services are entitled to receive benefits.  
• The Constitution doesn't say how many justices should be on the Supreme Court.  The number varied somewhat in the earlier years of US history.  Since 1869, the number has been settled at 9 justices (when all Supreme Court seats are filled).
• District courts, US courts of appeal (also known as circuit courts), and the Supreme Court are the three-tiered system of federal courts for criminal cases and for civil cases that pertain to the United States Constitution or federal statutes.  There are 12 circuits into which the district courts are organized, and each circuit has its own Court of Appeals.  There's also actually a 13th Court of Appeals that was created in 1982, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  That court is in Washington DC, and hears appeals regarding cases dealing with things like patent law.  
• The fact that Supreme Court justices serve for life, with no limit on their time of service, became a point of controversy when the most recent nominee to the Court, Brett Kavanaugh, faced accusations about inappropriate conduct toward women during his youth.  Kavanaugh is 53 years old, and so conceivably could serve on the Supreme Court for several decades.

Answer 2

Among the five statements, the only wrong is “Federal judges are voted to the Supreme Court by a national Election.”
In the United States, federal judges are nominated by the U.S. President like the Supreme Court Justice and will be confirmed by the majority vote of the Senate.
