Any legislation would have to be passed by the House and Senate and be signed by the president.

The constitution doesn't say that the SC can't have rules under which they operate.

And while you may not be limited in removing a justice (impeachment) there may be other penalties imposed, such as fines, suspensions, etc.

Is nothing else, a good public shaming.
