Answer
The different interest groups of our country may influence the appointment process in many ways. One is donations. If any interest group, say an environmental one donates a lot of money to the appointment process then of course the nominee that is pro environment will take the seat. Another way is smear campaigns. Simply smear campaigns is the process where interest groups damage the reputation of not only supreme court nominees but also any politician. This does not so much, but what it does is makes the opinion of the public change and that is what causes the nominee's reputation to be damaged.
Interest groups only have influence over Supreme Court nominations to the extent that they control the President or potentially affect his reelection, if applicable. The expectations of constituents and broad demographic groups are more likely to factor into the decision-making process than campaign contributions (you can't donate directly to the appointment process, as suggested above), and it may be necessary to compromise with the majority power in the Senate, if that party differs from the President's.
"Smear campaigns" are more relevant to the electoral process, because such tactics are intentionally targeted at people who either can't, or won't, research the issues for themselves. Public criticism of a Supreme Court nominee, who is removed from the popular election process, has more impact on people's perceptions of the President and the president's political party than on the nomination process.
The president has some influence over the supreme court, but only to an extent. As previously stated he nominates people to the supreme court, but this in turn is checked by the legislative function in the government so his influence is small here if anything. He does however have the power and right to openly support or criticise the court, thus to an extent influencing some of their decisions.The President has the power to fill open judge positions by submitting nominees of his choice to the Senate. He can choose people who agree with him on constitutional questions.

Over the past few decades, most US Supreme Court nominees have had judicial experience on one of the US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts. This is no coincidence; most justices were appointed to the Circuit Courts for the purpose of developing appellate experience and a record of jurisprudence because they had already been identified as potential future US Supreme Court justices. The Circuit Courts have become the US Supreme Court's farm team.
Supreme court is a lifetime appointment
They hold the hearings to determine the nominees of the Supreme Court. There have been six nominees that the senate has rejected over the past sixty years through this process.
The United States Constitution includes rigid separation of powers, simultaneously counteracted by a system of checks and balances. The American president as chief executive can influence courts through their selection of nominees based on political leanings. That being said this power in turn is checked and can be negated by the Senate's authority to deny confirmation of judicial nominees.

The Senate Judiciary Committee plays a crucial role in the nomination process for Supreme Court justices. It holds confirmation hearings for nominees, where they are questioned about their qualifications and views. The committee's recommendation, through a vote, can influence whether a nominee is confirmed. Additionally, the committee can affect the court through its oversight responsibilities, such as holding hearings on judicial actions or policy matters related to the court.
Congress has to approve the US Supreme Court nominees.
The American Bar Association issues an opinion about the professional competence and qualifications of US Supreme Court nominees and potential nominees.
No, the Senate actually has very much influence in regard to the appointment of Supreme Court justices. The president of the United States submits his choices of individuals to hold these seats to the Senate for their consent and advice.
It is fairly rare but it happens. Usually the President finds out in advance that a candidate will have difficulties being confirmed and withdraws the name.(Supreme court nominees are much more likely to be rejected than are cabinet nominees.)
