Unfortunately that's not going to be easy. It's basically political suicide for any party that tries, but additionally would require reworking the constitution. Due to the document's flaws you would need 2/3rds of states or 2/3rds of Congress.

Functionally it's impossible due both to the average American voter and the constitution.

He's shown the opposite. He can do what he wants because his party controls both Congress and the Supreme Court. You'd have to reverse that entirely. Basically if you control all three branches of government you can do what you want, but you also need all 3 to make reforms too.

Flipping the Supreme Court alone could take decades
