SCOTUS justices need to be impeached by the House and then tried and convicted in the Senate by a 2/3 majority vote. Good luck finding 67 votes in any Senate. For SIX fascist justices. Second, I do not worry that Democrats couldn't find six eminently qualified, experienced people to fill those seats: we have a plethora of talent. That is not even remotely a problem.
