A recent Annenberg Public Policy Center poll reveals broad support among Americans for various reforms to the Supreme Court, including term limits, mandatory retirement, and an enforceable ethics code. Specifically, 82% of respondents favor a ban on justices hearing cases with personal or financial interests, while 69% support a mandatory retirement age, and 68% endorse term limits, as proposed by President Biden. However, the controversial idea of expanding the court's size, or 'court packing', garners only 29% support. The poll indicates a partisan divide, with knowledgeable Republicans less supportive of reforms compared to Democrats and independents. Despite overwhelming public backing for reforms, there is little indication that such measures will gain traction in Congress. Chief Justice Roberts has announced an ethics code for the court, but it lacks enforcement mechanisms, raising concerns about judicial accountability.
