WASHINGTON – The capital is a city of magnificent front entrances that people can’t enter.
On Constitution Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue and Capitol Hill, sweeping marble staircases, sculptures, manicured gardens and ornate doors beckoned citizens of the past. Now most stand empty and sealed.
The Supreme Court has become the latest to shoo people from its front steps, to the displeasure of several justices who think it’s wrong for an open society to close its most majestic portals.
