I think it is a mark of shame on the US Congress that it doesn’t use impeachment more often. Too often the talk gets bogged down on what exactly are “high crimes and misdemeanors.” .....In the case of federal judges, we lose sight of the fact that they only “shall hold their offices during good behaviour.”
This State Is Impeaching Its Entire Supreme Court, Maybe They're Onto Something https://t.co/8LdqA8RjZu— Greg Meadows (@BootsandOilBlog) August 9, 2018

Interesting observation. Judges could be removed en masse like this, and it could make a real difference.
However, if put in the hands of the wrong type of people, it could be a weapon.
In any event, my understanding is that it would take 2/3 rds of the Senate to convict and remove an offending office holder.
