Yes, you have correctly quoted the Constitution. Congress can, indeed, remove supreme court justices via impeachment if the justices demonstrate they are not on 'good behavior' (wnatever that is).

However, that was not the question at hand. Congress cannot overturn a supreme court ruling, and removing one or more justices via impeachment AFTER a particular ruling will not change that fact.

By the way, how many United States supreme court justices have been impeached and removed from the court in our nations history?

1 impeachment, no removals. Samuel Chase March 1805.
