For all we know the Courts may decide that internet IS a utility voiding the FCC, the FCC is just some body like the EPA, It has no real authority, the courts do. This is going to take a long time. Perhaps even long enough for there to be a new president and new appointments.
No, federal judge appointments are lifetime, and they can only be removed by impeachment. This the legacy of the Republican's hold on the federal government, which is to fill the judiciary with their shills so when they do lose power and people start to fight and repeal the laws they've put into place, the courts will be there to stop them. Elections have consequences.

Many people have stated they hope that if and when the Dem retake the government, they would remove all federal appointments done by the GOP, but that would set a dangerous precedent (one that the Republicans would decry and then use once they got power).
