Ginsburg’s casket was brought to the Supreme Court building early Wednesday for a private ceremony in the Great Hall, attended by her family and her fellow justices. The casket was then moved to the building’s front steps and will lie in repose for public viewing until Thursday, resting on the same wooden platform built for the casket of President Abraham Lincoln after his assassination in 1865.
