Ruth Bader Ginsburg Will Be First Woman To Lie In State At U.S. Capitol
Hot Air ^ | September 22, 2020 | Karen Townsend

Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will lie in state in National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol. She will be the first woman to ever do so. She will also lie in repose at the Supreme Court, it was announced by the court.

Pelosi said the ceremony for Ginsburg will be held Friday, Sept. 25. It will be by invitation only, because of the coronavirus. Rosa Parks lay in honor at the U.S. Capitol, a distinction extended to private citizens, as opposed to government officials like Ginsburg. Ginsburg will also be the first Jewish person to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol. For reference, thirty-three people have lain in state at the Captol, all men. It is an honor typically extended to presidents, congressmen or military leaders. The most recent to lie in state were Democrats – Rep. Elijah Cummings and John Lewis both civil rights leaders, in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Her loyalty was to the state, not the republic, and the Constitution bedamned.

I heard she is being buried at Arlington. Don’t you have to be a veteran?

Is it just me or have we been lowering the bar on burying people “In State” over the last decade or so?

Hopefully her funeral isn’t as long as McCain’s was.

She wont be buried for at least 11 days. Yom Kippur. That’s why Trump will announce Sat.

Don’t you just love how some people use their faith when it’s convenient.

She’s going to lie in state. Appropriate, considering how adept she was at lying in the Supreme Court.

How revolting. It’s like Barack being the first “black” president. A parody.

>>then reads 33 men have been laid in State

So very few people have laid in State there. Period.

But it’s an election year and the Democrats need a hail satan game play.

Like many Jews in this country, she probably was Jewish when convienient and didn’t observe much of the practices except when they weren’t a burden. Keeping a Jewish corpse on display for a week isn’t quite Kosher, but maybe a liberal Rabbi gave the green light in her case..

We continue to honor the least deserving, and defame and jail the heroes. We are living in the upside down.

If you’re a Democrat, you get a full blown corpse parade. Those are the rules.
