A ceremony attended by Joe Biden and other lawmakers was held for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
There was a bipartisan group of approximately lawmakers who were socially distanced and wearing masks, but the two highest ranking Republicans Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, did not attend.
Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt, whose husband was a clerk for Ginsburg, led the ceremony and offered a moving tribute. Ginsburg will be buried in a private ceremony next week at Arlington National Cemetery, where Ginsburg’s late husband Martin was buried in 2010.The event was not open to the public due to Covid-19, but that did not stop mourners from gathering outside.
He was met with an onslaught of booing from the crowd, with mourners chanting in unison to ‘vote him out.’
