Hundreds Gather at Supreme Court to Mourn Ginsburg’s Death

|Updated:

Several hundred people gathered on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court late Friday to mark the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, packing the steps of the high court as well as the street across from the U.S. Capitol in a nighttime memorial as they sang and held a candlelight vigil.

People left bouquets of flowers, small U.S. flags, prayer candles, and handwritten messages for Ginsburg on the Supreme Court’s steps. The justice, 87, died late Friday due to complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer, the court said. She served 27 years on the court.
