WASHINGTON (AP): Capping days of commemorations of her extraordinary life, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will become the first woman in American history to lie in state in the US Capitol.

Ginsburg, who died last week at age 87, also will be the first Jewish-American to lie in state and just the second Supreme Court justice. The first, Chief Justice William Howard Taft, had also been president.
