How come the guy didn't get thrown off the bench for that ?

Judges are supposed to be beyond doubt, if a judge has done something like that their career should be over.



Especially if they have a lifetime appointment.

If you fuck up and are re-elected, that's one thing. If you fuck up but have a lifetime appointment, well, I can't see the benefit to the people he represents to keep him on the bench.
