Marble facade falls from Supreme Court

(Washington-AP) November 28, 2005 - Part of the marble facade on the front of the Supreme Court collapsed Monday morning, falling onto the steps leading into the venerable building.

Eyewitnesses say no one was injured when the large chunk of marble fell onto the steps where tourists normally enter the building. 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 10:00am.

The justices are meeting to issue orders and hear arguments.
