The Forefathers made impeachment super difficult and it's kinda a common sense thing....An elected leader put out by the vote of a few?? Wow....They would have all been impeached for something.

I agree. It should be difficult. But the prevailing wisdom is that it is impermissible to impeach for judicial activism. I hold the prevailing wisdom is wrong on that count.

At some level, even judges are subject to the political will of the people. They are, by design, more remote from popular influence than a directly elected legislature. But there is a Constitutional way to shitcan the activists.
