      In theory a twelve gauge and a dream.

      In practice a civil war which would kill millions and most likely dissolution or heavily decentralize the federal government.

        Which clause? I’m not remembering any that covers removal of a justice and I’m not finding it, unless you’re considering this from article 3 section 1 to be what you said: The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour… I’m not seeing any mechanism enforcing that “good behavior”, any definition of it, or who would enforce it

        If you’re holding out hope that Congress would impeach and remove any Supreme Court Justice, let alone all the ones who need removing, I have a bridge to sell you.
