What really happens is people make lists and say “we like this judge” for various interests, or like news agencies might give an overview of what they found on rulings, etc.

SCOTUS being appointed isn’t exactly the issue. It’s the fact that only the senate can give input, and since the senate favors the right wing, its composition is biased. House has no say in this, and that’s not very balanced.

Technically, you can give your senator some input and tell them how to vote. They can also call in witnesses and get commentary.
The point about scotus being appointed is that it’s still a political process, they’re still doing politics.
