True, a judge can be impeached.

I see now, you see it as a sham. Assuming that is what the democrats agenda is, to "sully someone's reputation.." The FBI can still just do their job without limitation and find absolutely nothing. no harm done, reputation intact = you get the job. However I don't think the democrats are saying he is guilty, they're saying they want everyone to be heard and interviewed. Ex. like his classmates, college roommates, etc.

 

You can't remove a judge from the Supreme Court - there is no process for it. To have a process would require a constitutional amendment. Once confirmed - he could be arrested (nothing protects those Judges) and convicted - and still serve - I'm unsure about the laws but a congressperson that is in prison must be released any time congress is in session to vote (that's the law) unless they are removed from office. I would guess for a SC judge it'd be the same thing. That's why having a rational, and thorough process to vet appointees is so important.
