Impeachment is a political solution, though. Conviction in the house is a simple majority, but removal from office (or other forms of punishment) requires a 2/3 majority in the senate. That's not going to happen in the current environment, no matter how unsuitable an individual might be for office.

It's accountability, but in theory only.

That's true for much more than the Supreme Court though.

Only once has a supreme court justice been impeached, and they were acquitted by the Senate.

>They can be impeached?

To answer your question: yes.

By us?

SCOTUS impeachment is a virtual function from the electorate through their elected officials. Hopefully the receiver isn't a null object...
