What power does he have to challenge it?

Quite a bit, apparently!

Feel free to specify...well, any of those powers.

He can have them shot by the armed forces and then nominate six replacements

Don’t worry I’m not really serious this is just the explicit conclusion of nobodies like one-third of the Supreme Court, when writing about this decision

The problem, obviously, is that Congress would impeach and remove him. Look, it was a serious question. Yes, there's all kinds of performative nonsense he could do, but what's something that would change the outcome of this decision?

Are you as a member of Congress really sure you’re going to vote to impeach the guy who just had people across the street domed from a thousand yards out? Would you bet your life on it?

More seriously he could put out the word that it is the position of the Democratic Party that these justices should be impeached, that if Democrats win Congress that’s what will happen, and that this ruling is on the chopping block as soon as Alito and Thomas keel over and die

He could do all that but I'm not hopeful considering that he and his party barely mention the cartoonishly corrupt SCOTUS justice

Alito's not showing up for a subpoena. Durbin is absolutely useless and I think they should subpoena Alito, Thomas, and Roberts, but that's purely symbolic. Good symbolism, but symbolism nonetheless.
