Calls Increase for Supreme Court Ethics Reforms as Public Approval of Justices Plummets

Americans' confidence in the Supreme Court has declined sharply amid concerns over transparency and ethics, according to a new poll.
The court's approval rating has dropped to 41%, with 59% of Americans disapproving of the court, according to a Marquette University Law School survey.
Justice Clarence Thomas faces scrutiny over his financial disclosures, fueling demands for the court to adopt an ethics code.
Thomas has the highest unfavorability rating of any justice, with 36% of respondents viewing him unfavorably, followed by Brett Kavanaugh at 32%.
The poll found a 24-point gap between Democratic and Republican approval of the court, highlighting its growing politicization.
