You forgot lazy. What do you do with the judges that simply can't be arsed to read the filings or briefs, and arbitrarily rule against those that seem to be making the most work for them? They want a light calendar, so they can spend more time doing literally anything else. So what do you do with those who will only do their job half-assed?

I think I'd be willing to move to wherever place it is you may be thinking about where that actually works.
I always vote "do not retain" in every election that allows the public to vote for judges, on the off chance that someone else that knows something I don't may need the help in removing a bad judge, and none of those judges ever failed to remain on the bench.
But most places that I have lived don't even vote on judicial retention. The only reliable way to get rid of a judge is to get them appointed to a more prestigious circuit, which would be a pyrrhic victory.
