I'm afraid I don't really know. Congress may have the power to impeach. That would be a tough sell, but if this court doesn't have candidates, there would hardly ever be one that could have a candidate.
As per an article I reposted today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was overruled 27 times on 28 presented cases by the SCOTUS in 1996,7. 17 of those cases were overruled by all nine SCOTUS justices. That's a 96.4% overturn rate, with 60.7% of them being unanimous.
This is a rogue court. It simply has no tools with which to judge matters judiciously.
As much as I dislike what these justices are doing, I am loathe to use impeachment to get rid of them. Imagine what the democrats would do when they gained power again. It would be a wholesale slaughter on moderate to conservative judges.
The SCOTUS should sensure them resoundingly. Perhaps a few rounds of the Supreme Court slaming them like the Barnie Fifes of the judicial proces they are in public, would shape them up a little.
Still, if they continue this, they should be removed. This is just insane. No matter my concerns, at some point something has to be done. Are we there? Probably so.

I think someone else put the answer up for you. BTW, sorry, I didn't realize this was the 9th vs SCOTUS thread I posted earlier today.
