The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

It is true that the President considers, both positive and negative aspects when deciding who to nominate for a Supreme Court justice

Among some of those considerations are the following. The experience of the judge, its reputation that must be intact, its knowledge, its moral, ethics, and values, its commitment to the country, its mental and physical health.

When the United States President is about to appoint a member of the Supreme Court, he knows that this is one of the most important decisions a President must make. The Supreme Court only deserves the best men and women to fulfill such an important role. Once a judge is part of the Supreme Court, it is for life according to the US Constitution.

That is why the President appoints a candidate but the Senate must ratify the nomination.
