JUDY WOODRUFF: At the Supreme Court, eight justices gathered alongside family and friends of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to remember her life and the many years she spent on the bench. Yamiche Alcindor has our report.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: A somber day at the Supreme Court. Dozens of former law clerks for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lined the steps to receive her remains in the building where she served for 27 years. Hundreds of others stood below to mourn her passing last Friday of pancreatic cancer, inside the court's Great Hall, a gathering of family and close friends. The flag-draped casket was laid on the funeral bier first used after President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. A rabbi opened with remarks honoring Ginsburg as a trailblazer and champion for women's rights.
RABBI LAUREN HOLTZBLATT, Adas Israel Congregation: To be born into a world that does not see you, that does not believe in your potential, that does not give you a path for opportunity or a clear path for education, and, despite this, to be able to see beyond the world you are in to imagine that something can be different, that is the job of a prophet.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: To the side, the court's remaining eight justices, together for the first time since March, paid their respects. In simple terms, Chief Justice John Roberts eulogized Ginsburg.
JOHN ROBERTS, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court: Tough, brave, a fighter, a winner, but also thoughtful, careful, compassionate, honest.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Reflecting on her ability to break through ideological barriers.
JOHN ROBERTS: Many of you have seen the famous picture of Justice Scalia and Justice Ginsburg riding atop an elephant in India. And in the photograph, she is riding with a friend, a friend with totally divergent views. There is no indication in the photo that either was poised to push the other off.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: It's a spirit of collegiality that has largely vanished from the halls of Congress. Democrats today blasted Republicans for rushing to fill Ginsburg's seat before the November election. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer:
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): There is no, no, no precedent for confirming a Supreme Court justice between July and Election Day.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rejected accusations of hypocrisy. He already has the votes to push through the confirmation.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): There is one right path before us. It does right by the judiciary, the Senate, the yet unnamed nominee, and the American people. It is a fair hearing, a fair process, and a fair vote.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Republican aides say hearings could start as soon as October 12, with a potential floor vote by Halloween, all this even without President Trump having yet named a nominee. Still, at the White House today, he was confident the process would move quickly. He noted his reelection could hinge on having nine justices on the bench.
DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: This scam that the Democrats are pulling…it's a scam…the scam will be before the United States Supreme Court. But just in case it would be more political literature than it should be, I think it's very important to have a ninth justice.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Tomorrow, he plans to pay his respects to Ginsburg. Then, on Saturday, he plans to unveil his pick. Meanwhile, today, his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, said again he will not be releasing his own list of potential nominees. Back at the court, Ginsburg's casket was on public view for most of the day. All day, hundreds, including lawmakers, stood in line to say goodbye. The late justice will lie in repose through tomorrow, before being moved to lie in state at the Capitol on Friday. A private burial is planned next week at Arlington National Cemetery. For the PBS NewsHour, I'm Yamiche Alcindor.

朱迪·伍德乐夫：在最高法院，8名法官以及鲁斯·巴德·金斯伯格的家人、朋友聚在一起，以纪念她的一生以及她在法官席上度过的多年时光。下面请听亚米切·阿尔辛多尔的报道。
亚米切·阿尔辛多尔：这一天，最高法院阴云密布，数十名鲁斯·巴德·金斯伯格的前法官助理站在她曾工作了27年的最高法院的台阶旁迎接她的遗体。下面聚集了数百人前来悼念上周五因胰腺癌而去世的她的遗体。她的家人和好友聚集在最高法院的大厅里。她的灵柩上盖着国旗，被安放在亚伯拉罕·林肯总统遇刺后首次使用的灵柩架上。一名拉比(犹太教经师)以表彰金斯伯格作为女性权利的开拓者和捍卫者的讲话来开场。
拉比劳伦·霍尔兹布拉特，阿达斯以色列会众：尽管你出生在一个不会注意到你、不相信你的潜力、不给你机会之路或者清晰的教育之路的世界，你仍能从超越你所在世界的角度去观察这个世界、去想象如何去改变它，这是先知的工作。
亚米切·阿尔辛多尔：另一方面，最高法院剩下的八名法官自3月以来首次共同表达了他们的敬意。总之就是，首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨称赞了金斯伯格。
约翰·罗伯茨，美国最高法院首席大法官：坚强、勇敢、是斗士、是赢家，同时体贴、细心、慈悲、诚实。
亚米切·阿尔辛多尔：回顾她突破意识形态障碍的能力。
约翰·罗伯茨：很多人都看过那张著名的斯卡利亚大法官和金斯伯格大法官在印度骑大象的照片，照片中她和一个朋友相伴骑在大象身上，而这个朋友的观点其实和金斯伯格大法官完全背道而驰，照片中却看不出任何俩人相互敌视的痕迹。
亚米切·阿尔辛多尔：这种同心同德的精神基本上已经从国会消失了，今天民主党人还在抨击共和党人在11月大选前急于填补金斯伯格的席位。参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默：
参议员查克·舒默(纽约民主党)：没有在7月至选举日期间确认最高法院大法官的先例。
亚米切·阿尔辛多尔：多数党领袖麦康奈尔否认了虚伪的指责，他已经获得了通过确认的选票。
参议员，米奇·麦康奈尔（肯塔基州共和党）：我们面前有一条正确的道路。司法部、参议院、尚未命名的提名人以及美国人民都认为这是正确的，这是一次公平的听证、公平的程序和公平的投票。
亚米切·阿尔辛多尔：共和党助手表示，听证会最早可能会在10月12日开始，在万圣节之前进行最低投票，这一切都是在特朗普尚未提名提名人的情况下进行的。尽管如此，今天在白宫，他仍对进程将提速进行充满信心。他指出，他的连任可能取决于法官席上是否有9名大法官。
唐纳德·特朗普，美国总统：民主党正在策划的这个骗局……这是个骗局……这个骗局将在美国最高法院进行审理。但为了防止它变得更政治文学化，我认为有第九个大法官是非常重要的。
亚米切·阿尔辛多尔：明天，他计划向金斯伯格表示敬意。之后他计划在周六公布他的选择。与此同时，今天，他的民主党对手、前副总统乔·拜登再次表示不会公布自己的潜在提名者名单。再次回到最高法院，金斯伯格的灵柩当天大部分时间里都会在公众的视野当中，一整天都会有包括议员在内的数百人排队告别。这位已故的大法官将被放置到明天，周五将被移送到国会大厦供人瞻仰，计划下周会在阿灵顿国家公墓举办一场私人葬礼。这里是PBS新闻一小时，我是亚米切·阿尔辛多尔。
