News (AP) - Lawmaker wants high court to reopen front door
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A congresswoman wants the Supreme Court to reopen its iconic front entrance to the public.
Democratic Rep. Anna Eshoo of California has introduced a nonbinding resolution calling for the high court to reopen its front doors to incoming visitors. Above that entrance are the words, "Equal Justice Under Law."
The Supreme Court in May stopped people from coming up its famous marble steps and in those doors. Instead, visitors are sent to a central screening facility.
Eshoo says closing the doors is not a reflection of the national ideal of openness in the justice system.
While Congress provides funding for the Supreme Court and the White House, the three branches of government seldom interfere in how each other's headquarters operate.
