Is there a mechanism to remove a justice who cannot perform the duties of the role?
No. They can be impeached, or they can resign or retire.

It's hard to imagine being a family member and complicit in this sort of ghoulish charade with one of your loved ones.

Impeachment.
Works just like impeaching a President.

She will still be able to vote from her house
How come she can do this but senators and representatives can't. I mean.. I know rules and what not.. but why?

A person that cant even make a decision to remove herself due to being incapacitated both physically and mentally, yet is ruling on decisions that affect the United States.
Yes real sad.
Yes real sad.

That's what happens when you are so dependent on the federal judiciary to deliver you policy victories you could not get at the ballot box.
They worship at the alter of government.

Wrong. Read the question again. You cannot impeach someone for failure to "perform the duties of the role". And impeaching is not removing.

It is sad that our society is so fractured that an old woman can never retire and be old and die in peace because she’s so committed to a partisan cause.

It will only get worse after the movie comes out about her “on the basis of sex”.
Interesting that we haven’t seen a Hollywood movie on any conservative justices....

25th amendment should apply to judicial appointments too.

What the heck do we call this, tele-voting? Pretty soon we'll have a virtual SCOTUS.

Yes you can.
For impeachment, Congress determines whatever high crimes and misdemeanors means.
If that means being incapable of carrying out their duties and refusing to leave office, that can be high crimes and misdemeanors and it's not legally reviewable in a court of law as that's Congress's domain and that's that.

Semantics.
"Impeaching" is what comes to mind when it comes to Congress removing a federal official.
It's a practically a pop culture term.

Nah, they will suspend her brain and tie it to some form of AI, so she can vote forever...

Perhaps, but I don't believe that it does.

But technically the House impeaches and the Senate removes.
Impeachment must come first. The Senate is not obligated to remove.
With that said, with the current House make up RBG will never be impeached.

Stop it. No you cannot. There's absolutely no legal precedent whatsoever for this. You're being silly.
You didn't read the question carefully. That's fine. You need to accept it and move on.

Is there legal precedent for absentee voting Supreme Court Justices? I honestly don't know.

You want to talk precedent. I'll give you this one. Nixon v. United States.
The Supreme Court said that impeachment was a political question and is nonjusticable meaning that it could not be tried in the courts.
Dude, impeachment is a legislative proceeding, IE political process and political question that’s influenced by legal arguments and support of the constitution.
It's why there is no appealing a successful impeachment and removal.
There is no role for the judiciary to play in the impeachment process besides the Chief Justice presiding over the Senate end of the process.
The political branches of government make the decision. Members of the Congress, not the federal judiciary, determine if a president has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors” that require his removal from office. And it's Congress's role to say what high crimes and misdemeanors means.
