President Trump holds a new conference as the battle over his nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg continues.
Even as President Donald Trumpfor the justice, who died Friday after a lengthy battle with cancer, Ginsburg's family, close friends, more than 100 former law clerks and colleagues on the high court gathered for one last goodbye.
“To be born into a world that does not see you, that does not believe in your potential, that does not give you a path for opportunity or a clear path for education, and despite this to be able to see beyond the world you are in, to imagine that something can be different – that is the job of a prophet," said Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt of Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, whose husband, Ari, is a former Ginsburg law clerk.
"She found her stage, right behind me in our courtroom,” the chief justice said. Her voice was soft, he noted,"but when she spoke, people listened." Many of those who traveled from throughout the nation waited more than 90 minutes to pass by the casket. The White House announced that Trump would pay his respects Thursday.
