The Supreme Court offers two options for visitors: an exhibit accompanied by a tour and oral argument. Casual visitors should stick to the exhibit. They will be able to learn a basic history of the U.S. Supreme Court and visit the court room. Constitutional law buffs should make a point of watching oral argument. No matter what the case is, it is really exciting to walk into the court room and watch the nine Justices in action. If you would like to watch oral argument, you need to plan ahead and take the following into consideration:
-The Supreme Court does not hold oral argument everyday. Make sure that you check the calendar ahead of time. -You will have to wait in line, and not everyone from the line will be admitted. If you plan to see a low-profile case, get in line on the front steps by 8 am. If you want to watch a high-profile case, you might have to camp out on the steps overnight. -Before getting in line, make sure you get a pass for the line from one of the security guards standing on the steps. |

Supreme Court tour : Fascinating tour! Really neat to sit in this room and learn about the cases, Justices, and buidling. In 1929, the building was built under-budget with enough money leftover to furnish it and return $95,000 to the government… Washington DC touring! |

Behind the
capitol on the side away from the National Mall there is some pretty impressive
buildings - the US Supreme Court which also seems like a pretty old building
but it is actually not even a hundred years old yet. Next to the Supreme Court
you’ll find one of the most beautiful buildings not only in Washington but in
all of the US - the Thomas… Finally I get to the capital of this place |

I think I found the Supreme Court building to be one of my favorites due to the tiny statues.
After wandering through the garden court, I entered a Winter Wonderland of trains and fantasy. The wing was divided into various "hamlets." First up, I saw Fairy Tale Trails… One last stop |

In the Garden Court, I looked at the the annual display of models of famous Washington buildings and landmarks. The Capitol, Supreme Court, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Ford's Theatre and more are represented by models made of various plant material. Bark, acorns, peapods, corn husks, pincecones, seeds… Christmas Season around Capitol Hill |

More protestors were camped out in front of the US Supreme Court, but the White House was interesting. It was the first time I had been able to see our government buildings in our nation's capital city.
I just hope Anheuser Busch and the Budweiser folks pay me for the free advertising… All 3 Branches of the US Government and Washington Monument, Washington, DC |
