As they are lifetime appointments, our only options are either packing the courts, impeachment (which requires 2/3 votes,) or human mortality.

The Constitution allows for the impeachment and removal of justices in much the same manner as a president: The House can vote for impeachment, and then a Senate trial is held, with a two-thirds vote needed to convict. source
