The leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, described Ginsburg as someone “who has done more for women’s equality than anyone else in our history.”
Last week, several commemorative meetings were held for Ginsburg, who was the second woman ever to be appointed to the Supreme Court. She was a member of the college for 27 years.
The chest had been placed in the Supreme Court building in Washington in recent days, where the public was allowed to say goodbye outside due to the corona virus. Thousands of people took advantage of it.
Ginsburg will be buried in a closed circle next week. Her coffin is placed in Arlington Military Cemetery near Washington, where John F. Kennedy is also buried.
Discussion about succession
It is still unclear who should succeed the progressive judge. President Trump has said her successor will likely be a woman.
Yesterday, the president was booed when he attended the public farewell to Ginsburg. Ginsburg supporters disagree with Trump’s decision to propose a candidate for her succession before the election.
The judge said before her death that she hoped this would not happen until after the November elections. The issue has sparked a highly politicized discussion in the US.
