What is the legal procedure for removing a Supreme Court justice?
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
--H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Impeachment by the House with a trial by the Senate.
In an interesting twist, the Constitution provides that the Chief Justice presides over the trial. Presumably any impeached CJ would recuse him/herself, but who would instead preside is an interesting question for the legal scholars.
