For those who come to Capitol Hill, there are 4 buildings/parts to see, one of which is the Supreme Court. A very impressive building. There was no entrance when we arrived, but as seen from the outside, it is a beautiful and powerful building.

We have seen this building many times in pans of TV series or movies. It cannot be visited, in any way. The truth is that they don't even let you go up the stairs, or even be near them. So the photos only quickly and from afar.

Questions & Answers

Is the public allowed to see the Supreme Court in action during cases? Like, could an average Joe walk into the Supreme Court building, listen to the justices hear and judge a case, and walk out once it's wrapped up?

Mark James | Oct 2, 2018
The Legend | Oct 2, 2018

Yes but for high profile cases you'll have to line up before the court opens in order to guarantee a seat. It's first come, first serve.
