Can we IMPEACH SCOTUS justices???
There are many things that can be done.
1. Yes, Justices of the Supreme court can be impeached based solely on decision. I believe that the only time this occured was the impeachment of John Marshall over the Marbury decision.
2. Congress can also change the scope of the courts review.
3. Congress and the President can point out that as co-equal branches of government, they also can interpret the Constitution. They could authorize the National Guard to protect the property.

John Marshall was never impeached.
Justice Chase was but not convicted. That is the only USSC justice who was impeached.
And it is not constitutional to impeach because of unpopular decisions. That is not what the Founders had in mind in fact it is the opposite.
