Crowds gather at Supreme Court to remember Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

They gathered in small groups, some crying, others holding flowers or candles. A few clutched posters, including one woman whose hand-drawn sign portrayed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a saint.

Sporadic songs and applause rang out over the murmur of the growing crowd and bubbling fountains. White lilies and tulips were placed on the courthouse steps.

The mourners began arriving at the Supreme Court minutes after word broke that Ginsburg had died Friday at age 87.

Each of the bollards protecting the courthouse supported a mourner slumped to the ground. It was quiet, and an occasional breeze brushed the American flag, which had been lowered to half-staff in honor of the late justice.

By 9:30 p.m., the crowd had swelled to at least 1,000, and more would stream in to pay their respects. The mourners were of all ages, including baby boomers and millennials, and some faces even younger.

Trump may get a lot of visitors too when he goes. His gravesite could become the world's largest public urinal.
