Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's casket arrives at Supreme Court to lie in repose

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s casket arrived at the Supreme Court building Wednesday morning and was greeted by former law clerks who lined the front steps as honorary pallbearers as thousands are expected to pay their respects to the liberal icon this week.
The remaining justices awaited her arrival in the Supreme Court’s Great Hall, where a ceremony took place as Ginsburg’s casket rests on the Lincoln Catafalque, the platform that held the casket of President Abraham Lincoln.
A ceremony was led by Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt, co-senior rabbi at Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, D.C. Holtzblatt’s husband Ari Holtzblatt clerked for Ginsburg in 2014. Rabbi Holtzblatt spoke at the ceremony, followed by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Roberts recalled how Ginsburg would speak of her journey to the nation's highest court from humble beginnings.
"Ruth used to ask what is the difference between a bookkeeper in Brooklyn and a Supreme Court justice?" Roberts said. "The answer, one generation.”
Roberts then led the attendees in a moment of silence before the ceremony concluded.
Following the ceremony, Ginsburg will be moved from the Great Hall to the Portico at the top of the front steps of the building, where she will lie in repose. The public will be able to pay their respects until 10 p.m. Wednesday, and then Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

She was a respectable professional woman who girls can and should look up to from the simple perspective of how far she made it in life during a time when women actually were held down a bit in the work place. However the level that some are worshiping her and the melt over womens' rights and abortion rights that is sure to come now is going to be completely uncalled for.
Politically I disagreed with almost all of her opinions but as a human being, I pray for her soul.
Now, let's confirm her replacement asap.

But don't you dare hold a funeral for your loved one. Science is real!

More people need to embrace this and hear this. That’s the American dream.
People love to talk about the wealthy and admonish them but so many of the ultra wealthy in America achieved that wealth and power in one generation. Not because they were necessarily born into it.

GTFO the Poliboard with this shite. Statements like this have no place here.

Right! I didn't come right out and say "frick RBG" so I got the downvote. Bunch of opposite end of the aisle snowflakes on this board who don't know how to handle even the faintest hint of moderateness.

Day 5 of her permanent stay in hell.
May the infinity years left be kind to her. Not.

Be careful who you venerate.

She was a vile and disgusting human being.

RBG was much more reasonable than most give her credit for. Was she partisan hell yeah. But she was old school partisan.
All should go watch her confirmation hearing. She was brilliant and refused for anyone to dare question her religion or dogma or ask about social issues under the Ginsburg rule.
With that being said put her in the ground in Arlington already. Many aren't allowed to visit loved ones in hospitals or have funerals like this.

FFS, 8 pallbearers? RBG weighed 95 pounds soaking wet.
Even with 2 gals on there, seems like overkill.

Not odd. The DC area is still very very observant of COVID social distancing. It’s also the middle of the work day.

Smh
You’re a miserable sack of shite not worth the dirt on your shoes. I pray you don’t have children, and if you do I pray they don’t think like you.

yes, I took all of that into account. I should have re worded. I was expecting more protesters and people needing RBG dolls to comfort there.
They probably have a security check point out of view before you can walk by.

So basically she will be just as involved in hearing and deciding cases as she was for like the last year.
Posted on 9/23/20 at 11:23 am to cajunangelle
She was buried a while back imo

Let me guess you leave flowers and tear up at Hitlers death site every year.
