That's crazy. Let's extrapolate that to a real world scenario involving your favorite subject.

A judge rules that gun ownership is illegal. You immediately whip up a crowd to remove the judge. The next judge comes in, and not wanting to lose his job, rules that gun ownership is legal no matter what. Anti gun people whip up a crowd to remove the judge.

In short, it'd be completely impossible for a judge to do what a judge must do - render an impartial decision. There's a very good reason it's next to impossible to remove them - - because if it were possible, then they'd have to rule based on what the prevailing political winds of the day dictated, rather than on the law.
