The New York congresswoman said that the justices' refusal to recuse from certain prominent cases “constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law.”
Impeachment of the judges is not the only way Congress has power over the judicial branch.
Congress literally sets the rules about how the whole court functions, the number of seats, etc.
One would expect Congress (regardless of which party is in power) to respond against the court if it feels threatened or subverted.
But this scenario assumes just the court vs congress, it doesn’t assume an effort by multiple people across multiple branches to subvert the government as a whole.
Yes, this could happen. Then checks-and-balances would dictate that Congress and/or executive should step in and impeach or otherwise handle them
…for annulling an attempt to impeach or otherwise handle them. You don’t see the flaw in that plan?
