Well according to the power the Supreme Court gave TSF, i'm thinking

When we win in 2028 our president should fire 6 supreme court judges and just replace them. Seems like it's being allowed for the next 3 years by this bastard. (SARCASM of course)

Instead of firing judges, the simpler, legal way to reform the corrupt court would be to neutralize the current MAGA majority by expanding the court to a minimum of 13 justices.

Of course, in order to do this, the filibuster must die.

Rotating term limits that rotate so no future president gets more than two appointments.

That means if the president illegally fire supreme Court justices, and if that act was in the parameterdd of his job, he can successfully have any criminal charges against him dismissed.

That immunity does not make the illegal action he took enforceable (i.e. they still have their jobs - although it may take a court fight to establish it).
