The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg posthumously shattered another glass ceiling this week when she became the first woman and the first Jewish person to lie in state at the United States Capitol.
Ginsburg’s flag-cloaked casket was carried into the Capitol on Friday morning.
Her casket was moved from the Supreme Court where President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited to pay their respects.
The president did not get a warm reception when he stood before Ginsburg’s casket — shouts of “vote him out” rose from the crowd at the foot of the Supreme Court steps.
Asked about the chants, Trump later said, “Well, I think that was just a political chant. We could hardly hear it from where we were. Somebody said there was some chanting, but they were right next to the media.”
