How can the governor shape the judiciary?

What will be an ideal response?

Through appointments. The governor has the right to appoint judges at all levels to fill vacancies, and typically will appoint hundreds of judges during his or her term in office. By trying to identify and select individuals who share the governor's political bent or ideological viewpoint, or select individuals who "resemble" the citizenry descriptively, the governor has the ability to shape the appearance (representativeness) of the courts, as well as judicial outcomes. Judges usually serve for many years, so the impact of a governor can be felt long after he or she has left office.
