We have become the one thing the Founding Fathers feared most: An unaccountable judicial oligarchy.They are not unaccountable. They can be impeached.

"They are not unaccountable. They can be impeached."
But only for criminal actions. They cannot be impeached for misinterpreting, misapplying, or ignoring the Constitution (although they should be). They can be impeached for malfeasance in office, which, for a federal judge, is almost impossible to prosecute, since they have such broad protections. Nope, I'm afraid we are on the cusp of a judicial dictatorship.
