A Constitutional amendment reversing the ruling seems similarly (un)likely

What if current President decided his appointment power means he determines what constitutes “good behaviour”, takes the official act of removing 3 members of the Supreme Court for federal judicial ethics violations, and on appeal the remaining SCOTUS reconsiders absolute immunity?

Sure seems like if Biden really wants to prevent future presidents from doing this his best bet is to do it himself first and have SCOTUS rule against him...
