Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s body will lie in repose at Supreme Court

WASHINGTON — The body of Jus­tice Ruth Bad­er Gins­burg will lie in repose at the Supreme Court this week, with arrange­ments to allow for pub­lic view­ing despite the coro­n­avirus pan­dem­ic, the court said Monday.

Ginsburg’s cas­ket will be on pub­lic view Wednes­day and Thurs­day under the por­ti­co at the top of the court’s icon­ic steps in front of the building.

Pub­lic view­ing is expect­ed to last from 11 a.m. EDT to 10 p.m. EDT Wednes­day and 9 a.m. EDT to 10 p.m. EDT Thurs­day, the court said. Con­gress made sim­i­lar arrange­ments for a pub­lic view­ing out­side the Capi­tol after the death of Rep. John Lewis in July.

A pri­vate cer­e­mo­ny will take place at the court on Wednes­day morn­ing for the jus­tices, Ginsburg’s fam­i­ly and friends.

In addi­tion, Ginsburg’s body also will lie in state Fri­day in Stat­u­ary Hall at the Capi­tol and a pri­vate cer­e­mo­ny will be held there, too, House Speak­er Nan­cy Pelosi said. Chief Jus­tice William Howard Taft, who also was pres­i­dent, is the only oth­er jus­tice to be accord­ed the hon­or of lying in state at the Capi­tol, accord­ing to the House web­site. Taft died in 1930, short­ly after work began on the site where the Supreme Court would open in 1935.

Gins­burg will be buried next week at Arling­ton Nation­al Ceme­tery, beside her hus­band Mar­tin, in a pri­vate ser­vice, the court said.

The jus­tice died Fri­day at age 87 from pan­cre­at­ic can­cer. She served on the court for 27 years, appoint­ed in 1993 by Pres­i­dent Bill Clinton.
