JRCLS peeks inside the Supreme Court

GMU-JRCLS toured the Supreme Court Friday afternoon with one of Justice Thomas' clerks.













We got to see the traditional tourist spots in the Court, like the courtroom, library, and the basement.











We were also shown the self-supporting spiral staircase, the basketball court at the top of the building (said to be the highest court in the land), the clerks' office, and the Justices' dining room.

"The Constitution of the United-States is a great and treasured part of my religion . . .
The distortion of any fundamental principle of our constitutional government
would thus do violence to my religion."
--J. Reuben Clark, Stand Fast By Our Constitution, p. 7.

"And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me. Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land; and as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more of less than this, cometh of evil. I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free."
--Doctrine & Covenants 98:5-8
