Ginsburg, 80, the oldest member of the Supreme Court and appointed to the court in 1993 by Democratic President Bill Clinton, has said on several occasions that she wants to match the longevity of Justice Louis Brandeis, who was 82 when he stepped down in 1939.

The Empire State Building will be lit up in red, white and blue this evening to honor the late Supreme Court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

On Friday, Ginsburg became the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol, this after she lied in repose at the Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday.

Ginsburg died last Friday of complications with metastatic pancreatic cancer. She will be buried at the Arlington National Cemetery next week after a private ceremony.
