The death of Justice Ruth Bader has put the country of the States into mourning. It happened as on a cool night in a heated political year in Washington, there were several hundred people clutching candles, flowers and signs quietly gathered on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to mark the death of liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday. A little before midnight, a woman sang the wailers’ Kaddish, a traditional Jewish prayer for the dead, on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, the commencement of the Jewish New Year.

Dominik Radawski, 46, while standing on the steps that were often the site of tumultuous shouting matches when the court hears arguments on sensitive cases said, “It just feels so nice to be out here with other people who feel the same way. There’s no one here being angry. It’s this sense of quiet contemplation, this sense of respect." A trailblazing women’s rights attorney before she joined the court in 1993, Ginsburg, who is popularly known by her initials RBG – emerged as an unlikely pop icon in recent years, her image emblazoned on coffee mugs, T-shirts and children’s books.

Claire Shelby, 19 was quoted saying, “RBG inspired so many young women to follow their dreams and set their sights on things that so many people deemed impossible. And she made them possible." Another person giving tribute said, “I think that everyone out here tonight is here tonight to honour her memory and make sure she is not tarnished in history.” Another tribute was played out in New York, where an image of Ginsburg and the alternating messages “thank you” and “rest in power” were projected on the front of the New York State Civil Supreme Court building in Manhattan.
