Not very likely becauset this sort of thing has been tried before over the centuries, and it hasn't worked. The Founding Fathers set up an independent judiciary for this very reason: to insulate it as much as possible from the shifting political winds. Besides, impeachment isn't something a pres can do all by himself, not to mention that dislike by the executive branch is not grounds for impeachment. Had the justices commited an outright felony, like embezzling Federal funds, then that's grounds not only for impeachment, but conviction and removal from office (this has happened from time to time in local judiciaries, perhaps even in the State level, but not the Federal level). Personally, I don't see aal that much difference between Newtie boy and ibn al Whahab.
