Roberts memorializes Ginsburg at U.S. Supreme Court

The United States begins three days of tributes to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as pallbearers carried her flag-draped coffin into the white marble court building and mourners lined up to pay their respects.

Wearing dark suits and black face masks due to the coronavirus pandemic, dozens of the liberal icon's former clerks stood at attention as the coffin was carried up the court's broad steps.

Ginsburg, who over the course of her long legal career championed gender equality and other liberal causes, in recent years became something of a pop icon for the American left. She died on Friday at age 87.
