Supreme Court Police arrested a dozen Occupy protesters Friday afternoon after they destroyed a police barrier, pushed past a police line and sprinted up the steps of the high court – all in violation of federal law.

The protest was organized by the advocacy group Move to Amend, which advocates for a Constitutional amendment that would strike down the Citizens United decision.
After a short rally across the street, protesters moved to the Supreme Court building, where police had set up metal barricades.
Protesters pulled the barricades back and jumped on them, and, after a half-hour standoff, pushed past the police and ran up the steps. About 50 to 60 Occupiers cheered and shouted slogans from the steps until police moved in and a scuffle ensued. Several protesters sat on the steps and refused to move; they were arrested as police formed a line across the steps.
