Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has finally authorized the restoration of two statues at the Department Of Justice Great Hall to their previous state:
After more than three years of being blocked by large blue drapes, two Art Deco aluminum statues of semi-nude figures in the building’s Great Hall can be seen again.
The “Spirit of Justice” and the “Majesty of Justice,” which loom over the stage in the Great Hall, were blocked from view by curtains installed by the department in January 2002, when former Attorney General John Ashcroft was in office.
About damn time; now we can return to looking at ironic photos like the famous one of Edwin Meese in the ‘80s.
