CNN? Wasn't Rosa Parks the first woman to lie in state in the Rotunda?

Did Tapper just say RBG was the first woman to do so? correct me if I am wrong.

1. I believe you can lie in state or in honor

Private citizens lie in honor

On edit:

The Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol has been considered the most suitable place for the nation to pay final tribute to its most eminent citizens by having their remains lay in state (in the case of government officials and military officers) or in honor (in the case of private citizens).

2. I believe Rosa Parks lay "in honour"

Only a person who has held some kind of public office can lie in state.

3. I heard

yesterday on the news that Rosa Parks was the first woman to "lie in honor", which is for private citizens instead of politicians, government employees.

4. I think you are correct.

I think RBG may be the first SC Justice to lie in in State at the Rotunda. Correction- President Taft was also on the Supreme Court.
