I'm not sure what can be done besides packing the court, given that impeaching a federal judge requires a 2/3 senate majority, as well as the majority of the house. Republicans are not going to hold their own accountable.

No one is above the law, unless they show his honor a good time first. Well that's a fatal flaw in the system if there ever was one. Justice Clarence Thomas, marionette of the ultra wealthy. What an embarrassing legacy.
