On Wednesday morning, the coffin, draped in the American flag, was brought with HD Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Great Hall of the Supreme Court in Washington.
Ginsburg, who died at the age of 87 last Friday, served as a judge on the United States Supreme Court for 27 years.
Hundreds of mourners off the court
The court is closed for the corona pandemic, but colleagues, family members, close friends and the public will be able to be admitted in an orderly manner to say goodbye to the coffin on Wednesday and Thursday.
Thousands of people are expected to seize the opportunity, AP reports, and by Wednesday morning, some 200 people had gathered in front of the court.
One of those who went to the Supreme Court to remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg was attorney Cara Stewart from the state of Kentucky.
– I felt like I had to be here. What concerns me is her career in court. Using the court for justice and being successful is not easy, he tells the AP.
Successors are expected to be nominated on Saturday
President Donald Trump has announced that on Saturday he will nominate a conservative successor to Liberal Ginsburg. The Senate is expected to vote through the candidate before the presidential election.
