What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

What happens if the judge tells Keith Richards to fuck off?

That's where impeachment comes into play.  Federal judges (even if they are on the USSC) can be removed from office by the Senate if the House impeaches them.

Do these codes of conduct have the force of law?

No

So really they are suggestions of conduct more than a code.

I am making an assumption that you were professionally licenced by a professional body who has the authority to remove your licence if you violate their professional requirements.  Lawyers are treated the same way, we can be disbarred if we violate our licencing body's code of conduct.

I wonder if the police forces would benefit from a similar system to the Bar Associations.

Yeah but that is very unlikely to happen in the case of the USSC, at least under current political conditions. Especially for something as mundane as committing crimes and taking bribes.

Frowny faces and raised eyebrows in the robing rooms.

As far as I can tell, the Code Committee of the Judicial Conference limits itself to giving confidential advisory responses to inquiries.

Well, that would be a way of removing police unions
