if they make bad rulings; impeach and remove them; that is the legal mechanism for getting rid of judges.

“if they make bad rulings; impeach and remove them; that is the legal mechanism for getting rid of judges.”

Off the top of your head, can you name three federal judges that were impeached for making bad rulings?

You can try and impeach/convict a judge based on their ideological preference, but odds are that will not fly. The Advice and Consent process is suppose to guard against potential "bad rulings" by examining the nominee. If you want better judges, elect better Senators/Presidents.

Unless a judge commits a crime, they are probably in the system as long as they like.
