There's a simple way to remove Trump's fascist SCOTUS appointees. We should plan to do this in January of 2021.

We could impeach them, but that takes a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

There's a much easier way.

First, understand: Congress sets the number of Justices on the Supreme Court by federal law. The number of SCOTUS Justices has varied from five to ten. Nine isn't a magic number.

An odd number of Justices is preferred (it avoids tie votes), but not it's not required.

2/6
After we take back the presidency and the House and Senate, we should lower the number of Justices from nine to seven. The two most recently-appointed Justices (appointed under the Fascist Trump) should be required to retire.
