Please explain why it is perfectly alright for members of the executive branch to be compelled to testify before congress but verboten for members of the judicial branch?

It's not. Seven justices have been impeached throughout or history. One was a supreme court justice (impeached but not removed.) One of the most recently famous ones was Alcee Hasting - impeached and removed for bribery and perjury - who now, amazingly, is a sitting congressman from Florida.
It's not an extraordinary notion to subpoena justices to appear before congress in impeachment hearings. It also not extraordinary to consider impeachment of a justice that refuses to fulfill his/her oath to uphold the constitution in their rulings.

Yes and how many people think the SCOTUS decision that its OK for govt to take people’s private property and give it to another private party is constitutional? The august members of the Supreme Court should have been summoned to splain that one.
