The Supreme Court thinks otherwise:
See, e.g., United States ex rel. Toth v. Quarles, 350 U.S. 11, 16 (1955) (explaining that Article III courts “are presided over by judges appointed for life, subject only to removal by impeachment”); N. Pipeline Constr. Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50, 59 (1982) (plurality opinion of Brennan, J.) (“The ‘good Behaviour’ Clause guarantees that Art[icle] III judges shall enjoy life tenure, subject only to removal by impeachment.”); United States v. Hatter, 532 U.S. 557, 567 (2001) (explaining that the Good Behavior Clause grants federal judges “the practical equivalent of life tenure”).
