Supreme Court of the United States Review

Beautiful structure.. Walking distance from Capitol hill

An institution for the ages. No we cannot always agree with all their decisions or reasons, but they work very well together across ideological lines, the justices ask some great questions, and they set precedents for American life. Once they decide a case, that's it. I mean yes God is the ultimate judge of mankind but when it comes to civil law in this country we have to look at the Supreme Court for the last word. Voter ID would be an example. The Bible says nothing about voter ID, but when the Supreme Court upheld Indiana's version of it in 2008, it said to states you can do this. They debate the cases with civility and honor. Plus their building is incredible.

The Supreme Court of the United States (sometimes colloquially referred to by the acronym SCOTUS[2]) is the highest federal court of the United States. Established pursuant to Article Three of the United States Constitution in 1789, it has ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and state court cases involving issues of federal law plus original jurisdiction over a small range of cases. In the legal system of the United States, the Supreme Court is generally the final interpreter of federal law including the United States Constitution, but it may act only within the context of a case in which it has jurisdiction. The Court may decide cases having political overtones but does not have power to decide nonjusticiable political questions, and its enforcement arm is in the executive rather than judicial branch of government.

While most things in Washington are larger than life, this is one of the most unassuming, small places I have been. Interesting in that is the true seat of power in our balance of government, the only federal branch and judicial level that is "for life" (or until the justice decides to voluntarily retire). The bookstore is out of this world for anyone interested in law or the legal process. To learn more about this place, I recommend going to law school, passing the bar, and then being admitted to practice here. Your ego will thank you.

Gorgeous architecture. Very informative museum style displays Highly recommend for families. Impressive sculptures and portrait paintings of justices. High quality food in the cafe

I tried to sign up for president, it didn't work out.

Citizens United. Bush v. Gore. Enough to justify 1 star.

On my trip in the visitors center the tour was boring and they burned my grilled cheese.

Justice 2 Injustice will be served soon! The vocie of the system are the greatest judges doing protecting the communities of Injustice for anyone in need. We love you all we children are not at fault.

Love this place. Presidential nominations with a confirmation by the Senate? Interpreting the Constitution in the Postmodernist Age? Sign me up baby!!!

Nice but not among the most beautiful things to visit in DC if you are a tourist

The third article the United States Constitution is the foundation for the Judiciary Branch. Accordingly the Supreme Court of the United States is often the court of last resort. Any historian would be hard pressed to write a history of this republic without several chapters about the importance that this august body has played in the history of the United States of America. The decisions from Marbury v. Madison, Loving v. Virginia, Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board of Education,
Bush v Gore, Citizens United, and Obergefell v. Hodges have been hugely consequential. Therefore, a visit to the United States Supreme Court is highly adviseable.

Nice US landmark.. Too bad there was a protest on my way to visit it

Make sure you visit ALL branches of government and reward yourself with a trip to the Supreme Court. I've never stood amid such tremendous pillars - and the great expanse of the interior drives home the importance of the court.

Last lecture is at 3:30. We missed it by 20 minutes - don't make the same mistake.

Everything you'd expect in the Supreme Court edifice of the U.S.A.

Look out for Supreme Court Rule 39.8 (and in Myanmar, look out for that Aung Sun Su Chi!)!

In this building, many fateful issues for the country are being resolved, which can then lead to tens of millions of people around the world.

Been there but just outside. I would love to go back and go inside the building and take in all the art and the history of the building.

Anyone studying law...this is an outstanding experience, went for an oral argument for a case I did my capstone on and the experience was well worth it. The building is beautiful and filled with history. I highly recommend anyone to go.

Missed it. Spent week in DC but missed this bldg. So much to see.

It is a great architectural preservation. It s an iconic building with mesmerizing interior.

Beautiful building where you can often catch protesters exercising their free speech during a controversial ruling.

THEY DONT UPHOLD WILLS , THEY ONLY DO WHAT RICH PEOPLE WANT AKA THEY ARE PUPPETS ON A STRING

Someone told me this is where Justice works, but I couldn't find his office. Instead there's just a bunch of cranky old timers who dress like nuns and take FOREVER to make decisions. I guess I can't blame Justice for quitting.

This is where it all happens! There's a lot of really special energy here!

They can do this in janoshalman. Use america aeroplan 2 twin turret these here. I can prove it. I have a level. It is very important that I can prove. Officer czifrane detari zsuzsa janoshalma bem u 8 ungarn budapert ..

Phenomenal. The exterior and interior are just amazing. So much history. Going inside was like being a kid at Disneyland for the first time. Just in awe. Seeing so many photos in there just brings the history to life.

The building is magnificent, especially the super tall Roman columns, which are admirable

I've never been in it so it's got 3 stars just on that. Now I learned they had the name long before the street wear brand so they appear to have some cred.

First visit to this great symbol of American freedoms.

I ha e never been there but someday I would love to come and see it in person.
It looks like an amazing place to tour.

Probably the best cafeteria of any of the other buildings.

I like to think there's some honest judges still left state of mo is krooked . Amy judges tired of these krooked city slickers . I sure am

Whaddya know, another American National monument that doesn't post it's actual hours. Yes, the building is "open" until 5, but if you actually want to go onto a courtroom (you know, the whole reason you go), you have to not only be there, but be upstairs by 3:15pm (15 minute before the final 3:30pm time) or you'll have the pleasure of getting to stand well outside the courtroom, behind a velvet rope, where you can peer through the doorway at what looks like, maybe two visible chairs. You'd think they'd get one of the many guard standing around guarding the empty areas to, I don't know, stand in the courtroom, so people can actually see what they came to see.

Amazing VICTORY Supreme Court of the United States justice

I love it! it teached me about where the supreme court worked and what they did!

Thank You: #JusticeGorsuch, #JusticeKagan, #JusticeSotomayer, #JusticeGinsberg and #JusticeBreyer
You did the Constitution proud in June!

If you go, it s for the beauty of the building. I wish there was more in the history of the court

It's a piece of art and is made up of tons of marble

I would like to ask for help since the lawyer Cesar Arturo Mejia Soto is corrupt, he buys authorities to continue working, he brings the ID cards of Dr. Nicolas Kahuam and Ivan Silva and they don't punish him, be careful with this lawyer

Beautiful architecture! We looked around inside but sadly, since we were there at the end of the week, the court wasn't in session so we couldn't get in on that

Make sure to get tickets through your local representative to be able to go inside the senate house where they have the real meetings to make a vote on laws. It was an amazing experience

If there are arguments being made during a court session, it might take a while to get inside using the "three-minute line" to watch a short duration of the argument but it was still really cool to visit.

I ve been coming to the outside of SCOTUS for years as a place for silent reflection. But never have I gone inside. Wow! What an amazing building.

It s remarkable to me that this 3rd Branch of US Government was totally overlooked when the US Capitol was built.

The Court had to use dark old basement rooms and former senate chambers for decades! (See attached photos)

And finally when the land and funding was given to this 3rd Co-Equal Branch, it got buried behind the Capitol structure and the mall. Not a prominent placement like the Whitehouse or Congress.

Again, another stunning building with incredible architecture. Even if you don t go inside, it s worth the walk to go and experience the building itself and take in the beauty.

When I came here they almost immediately took off their human skin, revealing their cold-blooded lizard bodies . 0/10, made me feel uncomfortable

Thanks for selling us out guys, now please let me buy in!!

Please help us to stop n clean up the all organizations corruption and criminal discrimination in California is demaciated and already demaciado degrecion de samgre inosente y unilde by people with mint disease for others with child support of marin county who are abusing their jobs and they are helping evil women who have stolen their husbands and want to profit and continue to be fortunes in their countries of origin to later have a pleasurable retirement and they do not care who falls please we need justice with the same measures for both sex to a better future some observation young mothers are out on the streets prostituting themselves with month-old children and they use drugs and endanger the children it is not fair that the organizations that protect these mothers without responsibility do not realize the stupidities and barbarities of these people please help God bless all

Fantastic architecture. Going to see a hearing or listen to a docent is worth it.

Another must see while you are in Washington D.C. So much history has been made here.

Beautiful site with wonderful group of young people!

I am thoroughly disappointed in this place. I travelled all the way from California to go here to cop the new SS18 drop, (specifically the supreme x vans glow in the dark sk8-high sneaker) and was turned away, saying I was in the wrong place. AT LEAST GIVE ME A STICKER FOR CHRISTS SAKE I FLEW ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME STORE IN WASHINGTON AND GOT NOTHING!!!!!

If you're planning to see an argument - don't. You basically have to camp the night before as they only let 50 people in for the first argument (which they don't tell you on the website). If you're #51 or #52 in line you MIGHT make it into the second argument, but that means you'll be waiting in line until 11:15am. I showed up at 5:40am and was #57. There is very little to no communication with when and how many people they let in. I did not make it in. Wasted the whole morning. Even if I had made it in, I don't think it would have been worth waiting 5.5 hours in the cold. Crazy how it's 2019 and the system to see our Supreme Court in action is "wait in line for five hours and we'll only let 50 people in." Great system we've got (sarcasm).

Extremist Ideologues that can't seem to be objective.

A building that looks beautiful in the setting sun like a temple.

All in all a very good supreme court, but I would like a bit more of the modest ambience, as it can be experienced at the Federal Constitutional Court. The selection of judges my family liked very well. However, only 4 stars, because the food could have tasted better. Would still recommend to everyone the supreme court. Perfect for animals and retirees on rainy afternoons.

Very (and I mean VERY) importatnt place accordin g to the people who work here. The guided visit was a bit OTT in my opinion. But a very important building an very important people working there.

The architecture is very beautiful, both outside and inside. It s super interesting to follow an oral argument there is well, you do have to line up very early in order to get in. They usually give 50 tickets for public seating and about 150 show up, so you should get there around 6:30AM in order to get a ticket!
