Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

All federal judges are indeed appointed by the President with the advice of the Senate as well as their consent through a confirmation. This is done to ensure the principle of "Checks and Balances" where the three branches of government have some power over each other to prevent either of them having too much power.

The appointments are on a lifetime basis to ensure that the Judges remain impartial in decision making instead of worrying about what their electorate might think of certain judgements such that they may not be re-elected.
