John G. Roberts, Jr. On The Supreme Court Building Is Wrong, Sick Twisted and Very Wrong
How Mr. Roberts can say that the physical building structure, the architecture of the building itself, in which the USSC sits and works is what really makes it a viable 3rd branch of the federal government is wrong and weird. He specifically points this out twice in a question and answer period at Butler Law University (March 2010).
The Constitution of the United States is what makes the USSC the third branch of our federal government. The written document, the idea codified in its text is what makes it so. Not the building. Even if the court worked in a bathroom in the basement of the Capital Building its power would still be the same: HUGE. The building is only a display of our nations respect for the rule of law.
If one really took this view to heart then material objects would be what matters in the governance of our nation instead of our wonderful constitution.
Dude, I love you but this is a really wako view.
