-- What if there is evidence that several members of the Supreme Court are also criminals? Then there is no legal recourse I believe. --

The legal recourse is two pronged. See Alcee Hastings for example.

A SCOTUS justice can be charged with a crime by the executive. The only courtroom immunity judges have is civil immunity for official acts.

Being charged and convicted of a crime does not remove them from office. The second prong, removal from office, is for the legislature via impeachment.
