Supreme Court of the United States Review

The highest court in the land! If you need something settled, ultimately these guys will have the final say on it.

supreme court !!
great building

america needs a documentary on "targeted individuals" ,,,,,

One of my favorite buildings in DC for more than just what it represents. For it's beauty and greatness, it still comes across as unassuming, which I love. It's right across from the back side of the US Capitol Building and lit up at night, it's magical. Plus it's fun to see protesters flock here. Also, oral arguments are free and open to the public on a first-come, first-seated basis. Make sure they're in session if you go!

I give four stars because this is an established court of law, 5 stars would be allowed if you didn't support the allocation of military budget towards the border wall.

Without Justice Scalia, a lot of the humor and sarcasm are no longer present, but worth a visit nonetheless.

Courtroom lectures are informative (go upstairs for line to courtroom), and it is worth the visit for the architecture and history.

Where the big desicion of our society are made. Tours Monday thru Friday.

5 stars for the beautiful and eye catching building and the great photo-ops. Must be quite an experience to be here when decisions on landmark cases are announced.

Just awesome. Washington DC is just one of the best place to visit. Museums, historical places. I loved the place where Martin Luther King gave his speech "i have a dream". Everyone should visit this place. Trust me it's worth it!!

Fortunately, I ignored the previous negative reviews and give SCOTUS another try today. While I m not ready to give award them that precious fifth star, it clearly deserved a four star rating based on my experience today. Five of the Justices provided top notch service and more than made up for their four grumpy colleagues who might need to look for a new line of work. One of them in particular, Scalia, was prone to ranting and raving using odd phrases that weren t quite as clever as he believed. Justice Kennedy more than made up for his unpleasant colleagues with his thoughtfulness and poignant prose. I ll always brace myself for disappointment when I return to SCOTUS but today was a great day!

I like the architecture, especially the columns. We just walked around the outside, I don't think you need to go inside.

Antawn deshawn hunter from world's best detailing center need to be there against the White House for a lawsuit Obama's under world's best detailing center he tried to sabotage my business under his ministrations we did one car in the month of September so far

They said order in the court, i asked for a mc chicken and I didn't get it

Access to the Supreme Court is free and without queue to enter. The visit is very fast, two floors but quick to see. In August there were no sessions but when there are, you can book to attend. It is a stone's throw from the congress library and capitol hill

I saw an alien running around and the FBI threaten me to be quiet.

The Supreme Court of the United States is the building that serves as the seat of the court of last resort: it has jurisdiction over all cases under the Constitution or laws of the United States and treaties that members of Congress have concluded. Its most important role is to decide whether the laws of the United States or those of the various states are in conformity with the Constitution. It may also deal with legal matters involving a Union State, a State or a foreign diplomat.

The building was built in 1935 and is located right next to the Capitol, east side. Prior to its construction, which was completed in 1949, the Court sat in the former Senate Chamber on Capitol Hill.

The entrances of the building are on either side of the main staircase. The main entrance is the north / left door. The building is closed on weekends and holidays.

It is possible to visit the Supreme Court, however no guided tour is offered. Some sessions of the Supreme Court are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. A calendar of the different sessions is visible on the official website. 30-minute lectures are also offered to better understand the American judicial system, the history and architecture of the building. The lectures are held every hour from 9:30 to 15:30 when the Court is not sitting. When it sits, the conferences begin only after its adjournment.

Beautiful architecture. I love how the judiciary is the true check & balance to the power of the Executive & Legislative branches. Come soon before it closes & it won't be to crowded.

An imposing monument, it is certainly spectacular but I recommend you to visit it in passing, there is much more in Washington that is not to be missed.

Beautiful outside, no visitors, too much to see in one afternoon.

I have never entered, but from outside you can see the majesty of the building.

I am fine only seeing this once lol but it's historically beautiful

The supreme court supports school shootings. The solution to school shootings is after school if anyone has a problem please protest using free speech.
Why is the court banning the solution?

Scott cofer

Worth a quick visit. Try to get in on one of the hourly lectures in the court room.

I love this place.
All my homies love this place!

This was perhaps the best part of my DC experience. The courtroom is open to the public and there are lectures every hour, which highlight what the Supreme Court does and how it functions. During my 5 day trip I visited the Supreme Court on two separate occasions because the building is so beautiful, so much history has taken place there, and the exhibits on the main floor are quite interesting. If you have time, I would definitely add this to the list of places to visit.

I didn t get a chance to see the Supreme Court from the inside. I only saw it from the outside but the whole structure is breathtaking. It s across the U.S. Capitol building and next to the Library of Congress. You can take pictures in front of it and on the stairs. I do hope I can come back one day to go inside and get a tour.

Enabling theives and criminals for over 200 years. A complete failure in making sure congress does not pass unconstitutional laws. Not capable in doing their job they have taken on the job of judicial activism and completely abandoning the constitution.

Great day.

Amazing structure. I enjoyed the law depictions on the massive doors. Went on a holiday so I couldn t go inside. The facilities and grounds were all empty and it was so peaceful. Going on a holiday is the best for outdoor pictures, not many people are walking around to mess up the clean shots. It s sort of like you own the place for a day.

Nice building and beautiful interior it may look dark in dingy but there is marble everywhere including the stairs in floor. They have a gift shop that is down a corner in a small room and it was decent, they also have a cafe but it s very small. The tour wasn t that great it s more of like they are teaching you about it you can t even get into where the judge sits you can only sit in the visitors area but the room was big.

Impressive architecture, lots of real marble and apparently no air conditioning, and still cool.
Spiral staircase my favorite bit to stare at.
Incredibly friendly place: like in all places in Washington you have to go through security, but they do no ask for real ID or ask you to leave food and drinks out, unlike the Capitol; without previous booking you can queue for an half an hour lecture (I did, and leaned a lot... not native, definitely not in my curriculum) and in the weeks when the court is in session you can go in for a whole session, one hour, or for a sneak peak, admittedly some of the popular cases will be hard to get to see with people queuing overnight.

cool

and nice

Because anyone can take their case to them. This is the last and final argument in a series of court hearings.

Nice hotel, great staff, the bed was comfortable, the only downside to the hotel was the pool is consistently closed for conferences. The location is good also and taxi availability is excellent. Anyway, thanks!

On Google is posts it closes at 5pm. They actually close at 4:30pm. I brought it to the attention to the girl at the information desk and she could care less. Then some young police officer tried to flex his skinny self and tried to interfere. I told him the mistake and he said he could do nothing about it. I explained to both of them that maybe they could take some initiative and fix it with their bosses. The police officer said who should I speak to? Are you kidding me. I don't know your boss!! This is why America is going south.

The entire building reeks of weed, and it's impossible to hear a case for yourself!
I will never come back!

The highest court of the land is open to tourists. Visiting hours are normal business hours. While they have a gift shop and a cafeteria, you are not allowed to take photos or video (for logical security reasons). Surprisingly, this building only dates to 1935, and before then, the Supreme Court had no home of its own (meeting in the Capitol and various other locations prior to the opening of this building).
It is actually possible to attend Court, that is, watch oral argument before the 9 Supremes (seating available on a first-come, first seated basis).

ARight's reserve no implication Rule arase at Standard Bank of America Merrill Lynch rise. Article Fed esthetics.

Don't think about visiting this place on sunday. It's closed and there's nothing interesting outside but the building. Keep in mind that the cafeteria service is available on weekdays 'till 4pm

Amazing architecture! I absolutely enjoyed my visit! Even though there is a partial government shutdown I saw no signs of trash or negligence here. It wasn't crowded so it made for some really good pictures to be taken. Such a cool place to go and visit!

Went all the way to Washington just to find out they have no Supreme rly just a dissipointment

Nice building; to enter, you have to go through one of the sides (not up the main steps). No photography is allowed in the court room, but I think other areas are OK.

I love their McNuggets. Probably the best McDonalds in DC.

Great building, the inside is interesting, really liked the movie and the court room.

Nice learning about sarah o conner. The lecture was just a info about the judicial system plus we got to sit in the supreme court. See the spiral staircase. Look at the different meanings of the the statues and how its related to the judicial system. Beautiful artwotwork on the walls. I wonder if they shampoo the original carpet.the officers seem to be pretty incompetent didnt even know where india avenue was when i adked

I like that there's nine justices so there can't be tie.

Amazing. The outside building of of the Supreme Court. Need I say more. Visit, it's right across the st from the Capitol
