RBG. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on Friday, September 18, 2020, at the age of 87. In this humble publication it is impossible to capture Justice Ginsburg's outsized influence on the law, women's rights, public policy, and even pop culture. Washington, D.C., like the rest of the country, mourns her loss. Indeed, President Donald Trump has ordered that United States flags be flown at half-staff until sunset on the day of her interment. Justice Ginsburg lay in repose at the Supreme Court of the United States on September 23 and 24, 2020, and the following day she became the first ever woman to lay in state in the U.S. Capitol building.
