Every federal judge takes an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.  28 U.S.C. § 453.

Sec. 453. Oaths of justices and judges

Each justice or judge of the United States shall take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of this office: ”I, _ _ _ _ _ _, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons , and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _ _ _ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

Violations of that oath is grounds for impeachment.  U. S. Code Cong. & Admin. News, p. 6896 (1990).

Remember, this is what Judge Devon Anderson said before sentencing:
 
“I want you to know that this has nothing to do with Pinnacle Title but everything to do with you.  I feel that you are a con-artist, I’m not giving probation, I’m sentencing you to 20 years.” Judge Devon Anderson
