Obama will pay respects to Scalia at court
Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama will travel to the Supreme Court on Friday to pay his respects to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, whose death last weekend has sparked a bitter political fight.
The White House said Obama and the first lady would visit the court as Scalia's body lies in repose.
The next day, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife will attend a funeral Mass for Scalia at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.
Inside the court, Scalia's chair and the bench in front of it have been draped with black wool crepe. A black drape has also been hung over the courtroom doors.
