Ruth Bader Ginsburg's viewing will span three days this week.
'Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will lie in repose at the Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday, and there will be an outdoor viewing for the public on those days.
Additionally, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) announced that Ginsburg will lie in state in National Statuary Hall in the Capitol on Friday.
The court said in a news release that Ginsburg’s coffin will arrive at the court just before 9:30 a.m. Wednesday for a private ceremony for the late justice’s family, close friends and fellow justices.
After that ceremony, the coffin will be moved to the portico at the top of the front steps of the building. Such viewings usually take place in the court’s Great Hall, but the court is closed to the public because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The public can pay respects from about 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Wednesday and from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. Thursday.
Following tradition, Ginsburg’s coffin will be placed on the Lincoln Catafalque, which has been loaned to the court by the U.S. Congress for the ceremony. A 2016 portrait of the justice by Constance P. Beaty will be on display in the Great Hall.
Pelosi said a formal ceremony at the Capitol on Friday morning will be open only to invited guests because of the pandemic restrictions. More details will be announced later, she said.'>>>
