Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lies in Repose at Supreme Court as Justice John Roberts Honors Her Legacy
During a brief private ceremony, Chief Justice John Roberts said Ginsburg's life was"one of the many versions of the American dream" and said her many writings during her 27-year tenure on the Supreme Court will"steer the court for decades."
The eight justices, six of whom were accompanied by their spouses, wore masks and were joined by former Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired in 2018. Describing Ginsburg as"tough,""brave,""a fighter" who was also"thoughtful,""careful" and"compassionate," the chief justice also joked that his late colleague could also be considered"clueless" when it came to sports.
"She will live on in what she did to improve the law and the lives of all of us, and yet still Ruth is gone and we grieve," Roberts said.
