Here is the actual wording of Article II regarding justices:

The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.

"...hold their offices during good behavior..." and "...continuance in office.." imply they are lifetime appointments.

I’m not sure that anything in our founding documents matters anymore, when Sleepy Joe - who swore to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” has now declared that he can alter 2A by EO - and that ‘no amendment is absolute’.

Article 5 lays out the only ways through which the Constitution can be amended.

Seems like it reads that they can hold their office as long as they behave themselves, and as long as they behave themselves their paycheck cannot be docked. lol
