For now, impeachment means very little. Try to get a 2/3rds majority of the U.S. Senate to agree on removing a Federal Judge, particularly an activist liberal judge... would be almost impossible (for the moment).
"The United States Constitution provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" (Article I, section 2) and "the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments … [but] no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present" (Article I, section 3). The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States are subject to impeachment."
In the near future, when Federal indictments begin flying for abuse of office, theft of public funds, fraud, etc... and Senators / Representatives are forced out of office, keep in mind the 2/3rds majority needed to convict. 2/3rds of 100 Senators is 67 Senators voting to convict. 2/3rds of 50 remaining Senators (after removal of many of the worst violators, most of whom are Democrats)... is just 34 votes needed.
It could be a 1-2 punch. Removal of the criminals from Congress, followed by immediate vote of remaining members to remove the Federal Judges, prior to new replacement congressional members being allowed to be seated.
I think it is odd that the Legislative & Judicial branches of our gov’t do not have term limits.
And yet the Congress infringed upon the Executive Branch by imposing a term limit? In light of all the corruption, infiltration & taxpayer money stolen by the deep state within the Executive branch; was the term limit imposed to keep an unwary President from learning & having real control over his own branch of government?
Then they had rigged elections and get their many puppets in the White House. To keep an unwary people from knowing the truth.
The three branches should be EQUAL and not have any term limits. I think it is odd that Judges are not impeached. They threaten to impeach Presidents in the Executive Branch all the time.
The President should have absolute control of the EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF HIS GOVERNMENT!
Elections should be completed in one day & only citizens vote AND only citizens must be counted in the Census to determine Representatives.
Well, we should have the goods on all of them. If President Trump caught them all, we should be able to get this Congress to impeach these bad judges. We are resetting the Republic.
Congress can't find their own ass while sitting on the toilet. The chance a liberal judge is impeached is slightly worse than me winning the lottery. (And I don't buy tickets).
It may turn out that they can be dismissed for bad behavior with a simple majority vote, OR impeached for more serious offenses with a more serious sentence (can't serve again ever) with a 2/3 vote.
This has near-future implications.

They impeached Trump for a phone call. Bring IT ON!

That's how I read it.
