After a very long wait, these viewers finally got close to the front of the line – they’re taking photos of the Capitol, because they’ve still got to wait more to get in front of the Court. ©Victoria Pickering

“It is said that “The evil men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones”. I want to believe, that with the tragic loss of the good and great that was RBG, that this will be disproved. Perhaps Shakespeare never meant it to refer to womankind at all. One can only hope.” ©Rob Klug
Stacey Lewis….”Her legacy is immense. I don’t know how many generations of future judges it will take to fill her shoes.” ©Rob Klug
Kaia Greene….”Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy lives in all of us. We need to go out and make sure that her legacy lives on” ©Rob Klug
Anna Inouye & Shalima Beesasar-Mohan ….”We are here today to commemorate the memory and contributions of Ruth Bader Ginsburg who helped to make our lives as women better. Rest in Power RBG!” ©Rob Klug
Visitors NYC….”This is the only logical place to be today…..a sad day and a reverent day. I came up in an America where a woman truly can be anything and that was embodied by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg” ©Rob Klug
