You are correct.
There is not a judge on any federal court who can not be called in front of the senate and removed from the bench by a simple majority vote of the Senate.
The politicians won't do their job and remove these judges for their crazy decisions because they want the judges to make these hot button social decisions so they don't have to take a stand and lose some votes.
they can then just point their fingers at the judges and blame them when the heat is turned up.
It doesn't bother the judges because they don't answer to the public and they get the power to make law to suit their whims. It's a win win for the politic ans and the judges and a lose lose for the American people.
If they would just impeach about a half a dozen of these liberal wackos you would see a remarkable bit of sanity return to the federal bench.
It takes 2/3rds to remove. That makes sense too, thinking in the context of appointments. A judge can be appointed by a simple majority advise & consent. But if Congress sees that its will is being subverted by a judge, a supermajority can remedy a past error of Congressional judgement.
Clause 6: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. (Article I, Section 3)
The politicians won't do their job and remove these judges for their crazy decisions because they want the judges to make these hot button social decisions so they don't have to take a stand and lose some votes.
And the people, distracted by bread and circuses, fall for the gambit every time.
