The Legislative Branch (Congress) has the power to impeach and convict a US Supreme Court justice if he or she commits wrongdoing, but no one has the power to "get rid" of a member of the Court simply because they don't like his (or her) decisions or ideology.
If Congress believes a judge or justice has done something to merit removal, the US House of Representatives files articles of impeachment (like a grand jury indictment), and the Senate conducts a trial to determine whether the justice is guilty. If convicted at trial, the justice will be removed from office.

If the US House of Representatives believes a US Supreme Court justice has committed wrongdoing, they can bring Articles of Impeachment (like a grand jury indictment) against the justice. If a simple majority of the House (51%) votes to impeach, the justice would then proceed to trial in the Senate. If convicted at trial, the justice would be removed from office.
