I think that if a lower court rules and the SC has to overturn the ruling, then the judges in the lower court that ruled opposite of the SC should be impeached.
That would quickly flush the activists out of the Judicial system.
I disagree. Not every opposing viewpoint is necessarily being an activist. Disgreements and reviews are a natural part of the judicial system.

The Judicial branch is supposed to rule on existing laws, not rule in order to create a law. We have unprecedented levels of lower courts making rulings that effectively create a new law. The Constitution prohibits this. That is activism. Viewpoints don't matter, the law and the Constitution matter. When you let your viewpoint override your duty, it most certainly is activism and is NOT part of the system.
