What do you think of this idea?

[Swordsmyth]

The retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is once again driving home a ludicrous political reality in America: Five unelected “justices,” often with dubious qualifications and/or ethics, have the power to transform their personal biases into rulings that affect millions of people for decades, and possibly centuries.
If America truly has a government of “checks and balances,” then the Supreme Court must be subject to this doctrine as well. Since this cannot be accomplished through the ballot box, I propose the following: Supreme Court decisions should be submitted and reviewed by all federal judges in both the district and appellate courts, who would then have the power to overrule them. A 5-4 decision would be overturned if 51 percent of federal judges voted against it; a 6-3 decision would require a minimum of 61 percent to overturn; a 7-2 decision, a minimum of 71 percent; an 8-1 decision, a minimum of 81 percent; and a 9-0 decision, a minimum of 91 percent.” This will not only reduce the increasing politicization of the Supreme Court, it will also reduce the machinations the legislative and executive branches use to create this politicization.

It might work. It also would bring a sharper focus on each
possible replacement for each position, given that they can
basically 'critique' their social betters as a group. Just today I
saw a timely article on how some Democrats want to impeach
Clarence Thomas due to a new sexual harassment complaint.
It may possibly make Supreme Court packing more difficult.

I dunno, subjecting Supremes to such scrutiny doctrine seems bit irreverent as a concept.

Although chatter like this is being published by media today.

“Just to state this: Justice Kennedy’s son gave a billion dollar loan to Trump when no one would give him a dime, and Justice Kennedy has been ruling in favor of the Trump Administration position for 2 years as the Court decides 5-4 case after 5-4 case.”
