FILE - In this June 20, 2016 file photo, a Supreme Court police officer stands in front of the Supreme Court in Washington as the court announced several decisions. Justice Antonin Scalias sudden death transformed the Supreme Courts term, shifted power to its liberal wing and started a transition that will be greatly affected by who wins the presidency. It was a term unusual in other ways, too. Justice Clarence Thomas broke a 10-year silence following his good friends death to ask questions during an oral argument. Senate Republicans shunned any action on President Barack Obamas nominee to restore the court to its full nine-member strength. And four cases ended in 4-4 ties. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)
