Only nine or so federal judges have ever been impeached and removed from office. Even then, it has only been done for things like bribery - political beliefs and such have never been used to removed a federal judge from office. Once in, you won’t see any impeachments, even with a Republican trifecta.

All true.

However, we are in a different era when the Senate violates its own rules it has held for many years.

I say we should follow the Constitution and impeach ANY who decide their oath to it is not worth living by.
