I can only assume you wrote this post with tongue in cheek, or that you are a teenager.

I did not say nor do I think that the SC is the "ultimate source of power" nor do I think the far right in the US thinks so. That's a misunderstanding of my point. My point was rather that the issues which interested the right the most, the solutions to which gave them the most promise of getting done and done so for the long term, was to get presidents and congresses in place to change the character of the supreme court.

The only way, at least that I'm aware of, removing a supreme court justice is impeachment. I recall, from the 60s and 70s, talk in the House of Representatives about impeaching Justices Warren and Douglas. But the act of such talk defined the talker as an extremist.

I'm not aware of any serious attempts to impeach an SC justice, let alone any successful ones.
