It seems really weird you let the president pick the supreme court justices in the first place really. It’s also odd that you vote for judges in some places, because that makes the process overtly political, but even that would be better than just letting the president pick them.
In England and Wales, judges are essentially appointed by the Judicial Appointments Commission.
I think a few of the commissioners are appointed by a body of judges, but most of them appointed to the commission by the commission after open job application.
