Mourners pay respect to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Supreme Court. Ginsburg will lie in repose under the portico on the top of the front steps to the Supreme Court building so that the public viewing can take place outdoors.
Her casket arrived at the high court just before 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Ginsburg’s former law clerks served honorary pallbearers and lined the front steps as her casket arrived. Supreme Court police officers served as pallbearers, which the court announced earlier this week.
"It has been said that Ruth wanted to be an opera virtuoso, but became a rock star instead," Chief Justice John Roberts said in his eulogy."But she chose the law. Subjected to discrimination in law school and the job market because she was a woman, Ruth would grow to become a leading advocate fighting such discrimination in court. She was not an opera star, but she found her stage right behind me, in our courtroom.
Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt of the Conservative Jewish synagogue Adas Israel in Washington, D.C., read aloud prayers from the Torah in Hebrew and said,"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.
