Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said Friday it has been 'gut-wrenching' to see the court barricaded from the public but added the court will re-open in October.

Roberts described the last year as an unusual and difficult one, pointing to the public not be allowed inside the court, closed in 2020 because of the pandemic and fenced off in May when protests erupted outside the court and outside the homes of some Supreme Court justices after the unprecedented leak of a document hinting the court was set to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The barriers have come down around the Supreme Court and Roberts says the public will be welcomed back when the new session begins in October.
