Justices of the Supreme Court are not elected. They are selected by the president and approved by Congress.
There are no Constitutional requirements, citizenship, age, education, or otherwise for becoming a US Supreme Court Justice. Any person who is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate can be a Supreme Court Justice.

Other than confirmation by the Senate, I don't think there are any.
Justice Thomas received $100,000 from Citizen's United during his approval process, then ruled in their favor. What should be done?
