This past Wednesday, we went to the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet any Justices, but it was still awesome to see it. The architecture, like most government buildings in DC, was very impressive. There was so much marble! We did get to sit in on a short lecture by someone from the curator's office, while seated in the courtroom.
While I was there, I just kept thinking that I was sitting in one of the most influential rooms in the country, the location of Brown v. Ed., Roe v. Wade, as well as other landmark cases. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures while in the courtroom, but I did get this blurry one from the doorway:
