4:05Now PlayingNew polling shows Americans overwhelmingly want SCOTUS reform that includes term limits, mandatory retirement, ethics code for Supreme Court Justices and more. John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson break it down on The Damage Report.

Most Americans support term limits, mandatory retirement and a formal ethics code for Supreme Court justices, according to a new survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
Why it matters: The poll suggests that proposals from Democrats to curb the court's power are much more popular among voters than they are in Congress.
By the numbers: 82% of respondents said the justices should be prohibited from hearing cases in which they have personal or financial interests.
77% said they would support a formal ethics code for Supreme Court justices, including investigations into potential misconduct.
State of play: The Supreme Court did not have its own code of ethics until last year, and those guidelines have no enforcement mechanisms or external oversight.
