WASHINGTON<span style="color: Red;">*</span>— President Obama will visit the Supreme Court on Friday to honor Justice Antonin Scalia, who died Saturday in Texas. He will be accompanied by First Lady Michelle Obama, the White House said Wednesday.
"It will be an opportunity for the president and Mrs. Obama to pay their respects to Justice Scalia,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>who will be lying in repose at the Supreme Court," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday.
Vice President Biden will attend Scalia's funeral Mass Saturday at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, Earnest said.
Following a tradition last observed for Chief Justice William Rehnquist in 2005,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Scalia's casket<span style="color: Red;">*</span>will be carried into the Supreme Court's Great Hall on<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Friday, where there will be a public farewell 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. The public viewing will<span style="color: Red;">*</span>follow a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>private ceremony at the court Saturday morning.
Until then, Scalia's place on the bench remains draped in black, as was the main entrance to the Supreme Court chambers.
Scalia was the longest-serving Supreme Court justice when he died Saturday at a Texas ranch at age 79. His death has already sparked a battle between Obama and the Senate over the process to pick his replacement.
