From 1810 until 1860, the U.S. Supreme Court met in the recently vacated Senate chamber on the ground floor Capitol Building's old north wing.
In 1837, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney ordered a large wall clock from Simon Willard, a Boston clockmaker, to place over the western mantel. Frustrated with his Associate Justices' lack of punctuality, Taney had the clock set five minutes fast so they had no excuse for tardiness.
When the chamber was renovated for use as a public museum in 1975, the Willard clock was placed over the mantel and set five minutes ahead, in accordance with tradition.

How many witnesses is a lawyer allowed to present before the US Supreme Court?
None. The US Supreme Court hears most cases under appellate jurisdiction, and does not listen to witness testimony. In fact, appellate courts may not retry cases, but must accept the factual determination of the lower court and/or trial jury. The US Supreme Court's role in the appellate process is to determine whether the petitioner/plaintiff's constitutional rights were violated by a law or the legal process, not to determine a defendant's guilt or innocence.
