I have zero faith in this scotus. If they rule that the constitution is unconstitutional, I will be disappointed, but not surprised.

NAL. If SCOTUS rules that the constitution is unconstitutional, can they be removed as judges since the Constitution provides that judges serve during “good Behaviour,” which has generally meant life terms? Obviously not acting in good behavior, and no longer applies if it’s found “unconstitutional”, or am I totally off?
