Like that time they removed John Robert...er, never mind. In our entire history as a country, only 8 federal judges have ever been removed through peach-mint - the last being 11 years ago and only ONE Supreme has ever been impeached but he was not removed by a Senate trial and that was in 1804. One of the impeached judges, Alcee Hastings, was elected to congress just four years after being impeached (Democrat, go figure). My point being, the judicial system does not have a stellar record of removing it's "defective pieces"
With you on that one. The lifetime appointment thing alone is a huge problem - compromise a new judge once, and that's what, 30+ years of owning them and being able to call in a vote on any case. Huge incentives for crime interests to subvert the judiciary.
