The approval rating of The Supreme Court has plummeted to historic lows. Between the Court's radical rulings and blatant displays of corruption, the American people have lost faith in this Court. What can Congress do to win it back?
This Congress? Nothing. The only way to remove a Supreme Court Justice is, theoretically, impeachment but the numbers don't exist in either house of this Congress. Expanding the SCOTUS up to 13, one for each Circuit, would be more likely.

And also, hold hearings, and issue subpoenas to Thomas and Alito, so the American people can see that Congress is DOING SOMETHING about the corruption, and not just ignoring it.
Since Vile Misogynist Greggy Abbott set precedent and ignored the Supreme Court, maybe if more governors just didn't give a shit what the Supremes rule, might convince them their rulings should align with democracy, rule of law, and the constitution. Or Not. They get paid either way.
I don't think we need Congress. We need NASA to solve the Supreme Court problem, because the only solution I see right now is to launch the court into space.
As an European: why do Americans need an 'approval rating' on a court when members are apointed for life by a polical institute of no more than two colors?
Because technically, the supreme court in the US has no power to enforce their rulings. So if enough people get tired of them, they will just either be ignored or impeached.
Expand the court to equal the amount of circuits.
Term limits.
Judges to be elected by popular vote.
Only atheists may serve.
Anyone who has accepted corporate donations may not serve.
Fire the corrupt justices, put term limits in place, expand the court and let Biden pick the next 3 justices without GOP having any say.
That's a good start.
One: Term Limits
Two: Elections of Judges by judges.
Three: Allow a panel of lower justices the power to impeach a supreme court justice on corruption charges
Impeach Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh.
Expand the Court to match the number of Federal Appelate Courts and draw new justices from each in rotation with 24 year term limit so a new justice is appointed every 2 years.

This congress will not be inclined to remove any of their ilk from the Supreme Court. I will never understand why the DOJ hasn’t stepped in by now.isn’t law and order their job.
Why have a Chief Justice if that Chief Justice won't use his powers ? If only Roberts had balls and a spine. What they all do have though are lifetime appointments.
They can’t. We need a new system — courts included. We need to arrest everyone at the top and treat them like they treat everyone on the bottom. They are all fussing about Trump being a convicted felon when they all are unconvicted felons. It’s beyond broken
I think it's just perfectly Republican to be so short sighted that they couldn't see that stacking the court would inevitably diminish its integrity. The party of throwing chips in the air.
