Three days of public mourning for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a champion of equality and pioneer of women’s rights, began Wednesday when her casket arrived at the Supreme Court for a dramatic procession up the steps that were lined by more than a hundred of her former law clerks.
Her casket was placed on the Lincoln Catafalque, once used for President Abraham Lincoln, before a ceremony inside the court’s Great Hall attended by family, friends and her fellow justices, all wearing masks.
