Truly an oxymoron if there ever was one. Job safety? Judges are seemingly required to make mistakes... that's the whole "raison d'etre" for appellate courts. And to ensure that appellate courts will always have plenty of cases to examine, there's a little carrot they dangle called "qualified immunity": as long a judge pretents to be doing "his job", he's doesn't have to answer for his "mistakes".
