Former Justice Stevens' Colleagues Pay Respects in Supreme Court Ceremony

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court says six former colleagues of the late
   John Paul Stevens are joining in a ceremony at the court honoring the
   long-serving justice, who died last week in Florida at age 99.

     Going with First Lady to pay our respects to Justice Stevens.
     Leaving now!
     -- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) [1]July 22, 2019

   Justice Elena Kagan is expected to speak in the court's Great Hall,
   where Stevens' body will lie in repose. Kagan replaced Stevens when he
   retired in 2010.
   Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel
   Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also will be on hand, joined by retired
   Justice Anthony Kennedy.
   Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg says the other justices are unable to
   attend because of prior commitments.
   The public can pay respects to Stevens until 8 p.m. EDT Monday. Stevens
   will be buried in a private ceremony Tuesday at Arlington National
   Cemetery.
