Theoretically Congress has a lot of power over the Supreme Court, if they're sufficiently unified and motivated.
The confirmation aspect is one end, but Congress also has the power to impeach Supreme Court justices. So, theoretically, Congress could impeach all the justices that are believed to be acting in unconstitutional ways, and then refuse to confirm any new nominees that are believed would act similarly.
