“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?
nope only one from florida, and I believe he is a congress-critter now.
a black gentleman who if I remember correctly got paid to throw a case and was removed. His name escapes me at the moment.
Did you really expect any other kind of judge to be appointed by a Dem? It is customary to allow such nominations to be approved. It has been that way for a while.
sucks, but that is the way it is at the moment.
District level judges are far less important than the necessity of having the correct SCOTUS to put bad judges back in their place.
