More to the point how did her husband precede her ? He was a very good lawyer; he also taught Law in various universities, such as Harvard, to name one. But I saw no mention of any military service that would (as far as I know) qualify him.
There are only four deceased Justices buried at Arlington - William Howard Taft, Earl Warren, Warren Burger and William H. Rehnquist. Only three U.S. Presidents went to the funerals. Apparently it is not a mandatory "thing" for Presidents to do that.
Justice Scalia, who died February 13, 2016, drew an enormous crowd. A photo accompanying his rites shows that the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was filled to the rafters. In life he had been a devout Catholic.
But no answers to the question of both Ginsburg's burial at Arlington. I could speculate that the original paperwork to do this was a reaction to one of her bouts with cancer when the outcome of the disease was problematic. Not that I grudge the space for them. Simply sheer curiosity on my part. If you know, tell me in the Comments block.
