Mourners pay their respects to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court is remembering the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a fighter and a winner.

The court’s eight justices gathered in the Great Hall Wednesday morning for a private ceremony.

Ginsburg’s casket has now been moved outside to the top of the Supreme Court’s marble steps, where thousands of people are expected to pay their respects.

On Friday, her casket will be placed in National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol.

A private internment will take place next week at Arlington National Cemetery.

Ginsburg died on Friday at the age of 87 from complications of cancer.
