Supreme Court Façade Crumbles

A large chunk of the U.S. Supreme Court Building's façade crashed down to the steps below in Washington, D.C. this morning, no injuries reported:

WASHINGTON -- Part of the marble facade on the front of the Supreme Court collapsed Monday morning, falling onto the steps leading into the venerable building.

Witnesses said no one was injured when the large chunk of marble fell onto the steps where tourists normally enter the Supreme Court.

Some court visitors were waiting outside and saw the marble crash to the ground.

The large piece of marble fell from the building's facade above the words "Equal Justice Under Law" just before 10 a.m.

Wow, it's good that there weren't any people standing underneath this. I wonder if the whole front of the Court will have to be redone.

That's probably a symbol of something. Although I can't figure out which party is responsible yet.
