I think I've found my favorite picture ever taken inside the Supreme Court, and it's of building support staff setting up for the justices' group photo. From 1976.

It rules:

From the Supreme Court's website: Building Support Staff Posing While Setting Up for the Group Photograph, January 1976

Many more that will be there because of aptitude rather than favoritism and rich parents and placement from FedSoc or Opus Dei.
