In this case, appellant contends that as an active federal judge he has an absolute right not to be tried in a federal court unless and until he is impeached and convicted by Congress

If your argument was correct, it would have never gotten that far
Did you read the case you linked?
quote:
We find no merit in appellant's argument. Rather, we agree with the seventh circuit that this portion of section 3 was intended "to assure that after impeachment a trial on criminal charges is not foreclosed by the principle of double jeopardy."
*ETA: I hadn't even read that case prior to you posting it. Even double jeopardy was referenced. Oh my.
