Actually, Rosa Parks beat her by 15 years.
It would have been really easy to look this up before writing the headline. But history means nothing to the left.

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.

It will still be orchestrated by mean girls like Pelosi that will gloat about who is not invited to the party. Like any of the Trumps, esp Ivanka
Wanna Bet Stumblin’ Joe will deliver a prerecorded eulogy by video and Mooch Obama will speechify about her hard life and how RBG inspired her to go to Ivy League law school
Statuary Hall is not the Rotunda.
Uhg! These filthy subhumans and their freaking corpse parade!
People are acting as if she were the World’s-First-Female-Supreme-Court-Justice.
She was NOT. That honor belongs to Sandra Day O’Conner, who was nominated and installed under Ronald Reagan.
Oh...
That explains it.
USSC Justices are eligible

Will Sandra Day O’Conner be given the same honor?
“Just ****ing bury the corpse already.”
Isn’t her family defying Jewish law and tradition? Shouldn’t she have been buried one or two days after death?
Hasn’t it been three days yet? She should have risen by now.
Should be quartered, for parts to be dispatched to every corner of the country.
“If you’re a Democrat, you get a full blown corpse parade.”
And pro-Rat campaign speeches called “eulogies.”
This goes directly against Jewish burial customs. Interment should be as soon as possible.
President Trump should announce his pick during the ceremony on Friday.
It’s already been reported that he would make a decision by then. Probably why Nancy did this. So she can say evil orange man doesn’t respect the dead.
“Will Sandra Day O’Conner be given the same honor?”
Only if Big Media can sell her as being anti-American.
She did much for our domestic enemies, but they still despise her.

She was sort of lying in state every SOTU she attended.
No, she isn't.
Rosa Parks lay in state at the Capitol at least a decade ago.
Supreme court justices are eligible to be buried at Arlington.
It would have been really easy to look this up before writing the headline. But history means nothing to the left.
Is she the first Jew?
Somewhere Rosa Parks is confused. She thought that she was the first woman to lay in state in the rotunda. For that matter, so did most of America with any functioning memory.
OK. Minor distinction to make RBG historic. Another lesson in how the left rewrites history.
