All three Trump appointees to the high court -- Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett are also in attendance with Barrett appearing in public in her black judicial robe for the first time.
The court says Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas opted not to attend because of public health risks from the coronavirus pandemic.

Pence spoke with Harris on a call last Thursday, sources familiar with the call told ABC News, 68 days after Biden and Harris were projected the winners.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- who attended Mass with Biden earlier and has condemned Trump, who he said "provoked" the mob -- has also arrived with wife Elaine Chao, Trump's former transportation secretary who became the first Cabinet member to resign because of the Capitol riot.
Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, also present, told reporters he was there to "honor this process," adding that Biden was "legitimately elected."
Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have arrived, as well, with Michelle Obama posting on Instagram shortly before that she is feeling "hopeful for what's to come."
Former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was also spotted on the carpet ahead of Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and Garth Brooks' performances.
