“Justice the Guardian of Liberty”
are the words under Hermon MacNeil’s
EAST PEDIMENT
To see Hermon MacNeil’s sculpture walk to
the back of the SUPREME COURT Building
SECOND ST NE
May 16, 1932 Note regarding the East Pediment Inscription The text, in the hand of Charles Evans Hughes, reads, I rather prefer “Justice the Guardian of Liberty””

“Equal Justice Under the Law”
are the words under Robert Aitken’s
WEST PEDIMENT
~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~
Both PEDIMENTS celebrate JUSTICE
“Equal Justice Under the Law”
“Justice the Guardian of Liberty”
These are just two ways that Beaux Arts
Sculptors sought to preserve JUSTICE
for the PEOPLE in our “CITY BEAUTIFUL”
Washington, D. C.
Let’s Hope Our Nine Justices do their Part for Justice in years to come!
