...which begs the question: If it can be proven that she, in fact, is in league with the White House and actually “leaked”, then what can be done? Can a SC Justice actually be fired/impeached?

SC Justice loses their job in three ways:

1. Death

2. Resignation

3. Impeachment.

That's it.

Justices are appointed for life. They can be impeached and upon conviction in a Senate trial removed from office.

Justices can be impeached and removed. House I peaches, senate tries and can remove. Only 1 justice ever has been impeached, multiple charges. Senate acquitted him.

A justice can be impeached but there's no point in trying. Leaking a result is unethical but hardly a "high crime."
