Easy? In the US you need house impeachment to fire a judge. In some countries judges are completely immune unless they are sentenced for crimes.

To fire a federal judge. Local judges, which are the vast majority, can be fired by their colleagues or replaced in elections.

Do you need impeachment to fire a lawyer, accountant, doctor, teacher, surgeon or engineer?

Nope, and the article is about a judge. What's the point to incentive lawyers to carefully verify their references when they know the judge has no incentive to read them and can just make shit up anyway?
