Additionally federal judges, including supreme court justices, are theoretically subject to the check of impeachment and conviction by the Senate. However, in practice, only one supreme court justice[1] has ever been impeached, and even then was acquitted. Historically, federal judges have a 50% conviction rate following impeachment. The proximal causes of such a low impeachment rate, and whether they sufficiently address the current behavior of our supreme court justices is obviously up for debate. 1. https://www.fjc.gov/history/timeline/samuel-chase-impeached https://www.fjc.gov/history/timeline/samuel-chase-impeached
