Late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will lie in repose outside the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday and Thursday, the court announced on Monday morning.
According to SCOTUS spokesperson Kathleen Arberg, there will first be a private memorial service inside the building for Ginsburg’s friends and family, along with her fellow justices, on Wednesday morning.
After the ceremony, Ginsburg will be brought outside to lie in repose for public viewing at the top of the steps on Wednesday through Thursday.
She will be buried during a private service next week at Arlington National Cemetery, the court stated.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced on Monday that the late justice will lie in state in the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol on Friday. A ceremony will be held that morning, which will be limited to invited guests only due to COVID-19.
Ginsburg died of complications from pancreatic cancer at age 87 on Friday night.
Will this be a real repose or a hoax repose?
I don’t remember Scalia lying in repose outside the SCOTUS building. They probably didn’t want to deal with the hordes of people who wanted to shit in his casket.
Note: Yes, Scalia is a stop on Tio Wally’s Shit On Their Graves!™ tours.
I guess they’re doing it outside for Ginsburg due to the Trump Flu.
“Package deals available.”
And Trump said he’d announce his pick to replace her Thursday or Friday, because he can’t stand anyone else getting attention, be they living or dead.
