I had a chance to tour the Supreme Court building\u00a0while visiting the DC area\u00a0during the summer of 2005 and I was very impressed with the architecture.\u00a0The Court\u00a0is built in the Neoclassical style with these amazing columns. The massive columns are the centerpiece of the building and support the Eastern and Western fa\u00e7ades. The Western\u00a0fa\u00e7ade (essentially the front of the court and the side that faces the Capitol) has the inscription\u00a0&#8220;Equal Justice Under Law&#8221; and the Eastern fa\u00e7ade has the inscription\u00a0&#8220;Justice the Guardian of Liberty&#8221;.
