If the Republicans get the house back, what is to stop them from trying this? If we didn't do it with Clarence Thomas, why the hell are we doing it now?

Nope, bad idea, both in the short term and in the long term.

We all know that even if impeached, trump won't be removed, but at least we have the argument that an impeachment inquiry will hurt him in 2020; impeaching a SCOTUS justice, who likewise won't be removed but isn't up for re-election and isn't even the sleaziest of the bunch is just a bad move, and like ending the filibuster can come back to really hurt.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
