Supreme Court to fly flags at half-staff for 30 days in memoriam of Ginsburg
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Flags on the U.S. Supreme Court's front plaza will be flown at half-staff for 30 days in honor of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday, the court said, adding that a black drape has been hung over the doors to the courtroom.
In a statement on Sunday, the court said Ginsburg's bench chair and the bench directly in front of it have also been draped in black wool crepe as part of the tradition for the death of a sitting justice.
Visitors to the Supreme Court have left flowers and signs in tribute of the stalwart liberal and feminist icon, many with young children in tow. Mourners heralded Ginsburg's groundbreaking legal career and expressed dark worries about the country's direction.
Americans have gathered at makeshift memorials around the country to mourn the death of Ginsburg, as President Donald Trump signaled his intention to fill the vacancy weeks before a heated election.
