The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. 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.

"The United States Senate has removed judges from office for substantial questionable conduct, even if no crime was committed. For example, Judge Robert Wodrow Archbald was impeached and removed from office for improper business relationships with litigants.

several Republicans involved with the Trump transition process have been missing votes.
the choice is obvious, hang out with President trump OR stay in DC just in case they try to ram a judge or two thru confirmation.
and if anyone can define “good behaviour” then I’m all game.

RBG should NOT have been on the bench in her last couple of years.
and lower court judges who are in their nineties on senior status and aren’t even hearing cases anymore should not be on the payroll.
