The Supreme Court I am afraid has reached the point of no return. It is just another partisan body. Impeaching them is almost impossible. The only thing that could possibly fix this broken entity are fixed terms for the justices. There has to be a way to remove the corrupt ones, and right now there isn't. Perhaps a national election for each seat at staggered intervals. Right now they are on the bench for life and no matter how hot it gets, they aren't stepping down. When was the last time a Supreme Court justice stepped down over accusations of corruption? I think Abe Fortas was the last, and that was 50+ years ago.
