We the people made up the rules and we can change them in any way we want. If the supreme Court has some kind of magic that stops that they are free to deploy that but in the meantime we can assume that they are flesh bags like the rest of us.
He means absent a Constitutional amendment. And he’s correct.
Congress authority is limited to saying what type of cases the court can take and how many justices there are.
Constitution says they are lifetime appointments. Can’t really attach rules to that. Even if they break the rules, they are still lifetime appointments.
Only way out is death, retirement, or impeachment. I think only one justice was ever impeached.
Uhhh, no? Courts and officers of the court are bound, top to bottom. Someone that ignores orders may be held in contempt. Courts can issue writs of capias to any proper officer and writs of mandamus to lower courts.

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought the only thing the constitution says about it is “there shall be a supreme court.”
Regardless, the constitution was created to be amended, and it’s the states that vote on those. You know. That whole democracy thing.
There’s nothing that says we have to listen to their rulings. They can simply be ignored.
