Well then that's your answer.
If Congress doesn't have the votes to find that a Supreme Court Justice has misbehaved--if it doesn't have the votes to pierce the firewall against the independent judiciary--then it certainly doesn't have solid ground on which to dictate orders to the Judicial Branch for abstract reasons.
Separation of Powers gives Congress a specific and powerful ability to directly address problematic justices that still protects the judicial independence in general.
If those the people have elected to have that power don't see fit to use it in any particular case, well, that's the determination of the US democratic process.
