Frankly I'd not want "our guys" there under the current imbalance, they might (and many Republican appointments have turned out different than what was expected) write new laws, etc. just like liberals.
Go back to the founders. The judiciary was to be the "weak sister" branch with the executive branch holding the sword and the legislative branch holding the purse strings.
It certainly hasn't always been like this; it's said that when Andrew Jackson was told of a SCOTUS decision he replied "Fine, let them enforce it". The republic survived.
Impeachment is far too slow and tedious. I would suggest (and there is controversy if this can be done) that funding for the judiciary be cut to the bone. Let them sit home and do crossword puzzles for a year. Think they'd notice? You bet. Money talks.
There is also article III, section 2 (I think, that's from memory) that allows Congress to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts. There was legislation doing just that last year. It never got out of committee.
We need to get back to legislators writing laws and getting fired when we don't like them. Right now they can easily blame judges, we eat it up like raw meat and they get re-elected "since it's not their fault" and "we need more conservative judges".
We need Congress and the President to do their constitution duty. It won't be easy, it's been 60-70 years and they are timid but we must hold their feet to the fire on this.

We have come very far from this..
