The Supreme Court has made some changes to its schedule to accommodate the Friday ceremony there to honor the late Associate Justice Antonin Scalia.
The expected Friday morning private conference to consider cases submitted to the Court for review is cancelled. Also, the Court will not be issuing orders on Monday, February 22 at 9:30 a.m. before it hears arguments in two cases at 10 a.m.
A private ceremony at the Supreme Court will begin at 9:30 a.m. Justice Scalia will lie in repose in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court of the United States on Friday, and the public can pay respects from 10:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. There also will be limited press coverage of that event.
The funeral Mass for Justice Scalia will be celebrated on Saturday, February 20, at 11 a.m. at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, 400 Michigan Avenue, NE. The Mass will be open to friends and family members. There will be a private burial that is closed to press coverage.
