The public no longer will be able to enter the Supreme Court through its iconic bronze front doors, the court announced Monday, citing security risks.
The court announced Monday that visitors to the high court will no longer climb the 44 marble steps that lead to its great hall and courtroom, and cross the threshold under the famous words “Equal Justice Under Law.” Instead, visitors will enter the building on the plaza level for security checks. They still may exit the building through the front doors.
