They can be fired - SC justices can be recalled via impeachment by Congress, who ultimately derives their power from the people via elections.

Oh completely, I’m not a “both sides” guy. I think my point is quite aligned with yours, which is that the system is actually fairly reflective of the will of the people, it just turns out people are willing to go fascist for $5. The checks and balances aren’t broken, they’re just not being used because a plurality of elected officials represent people who actively want this.
