Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, has died at age 88, her office announced Thursday.
“To have met Louise Slaughter is to have known a force of nature. She was a relentless advocate for Western New York whose visionary leadership brought infrastructure upgrades, technology and research investments, and two federal manufacturing institutes to Rochester that will transform the local economy for generations to come," Liam Fitzsimmons, chief of staff, said in a statement.
Slaughter had been hospitalized after suffering a concussion in her home, her office said earlier this week.

88yo and still seated?
If ya can’t say something nice, then......!
Term. Limits. Now.
Hopefully she’s paving the way for Ruth ‘Shovel Ready’ Ginsberg. ;)
I think it will be a Repub seat for the taking.
As anti-gun as they come. Been around forever.
RIP
I remember the Slaughter House rules, which paved the way for Obamacare. As chairman, she tweaked the rules of debate in the Rules Committee, to grease the skids to get Obamacare passed.
No, she’s fallen and she can’t get up.
That means a Special Election or an open seat in November.
The RNC can put money into this election and prove that the Republicans can win traditionally Democratic seats.
“My constituent had to wear her dead sister’s teeth, because she had no dental coverage of her own!!”
Louise Slaughter justifying the need for ObamaCare back in
2010.
She’s been my congress critter for over 20 years. I despised her for her Leftest policies ... but I’ll still say a prayer for her. RIP.
Now,that’s funny!
well, no, she’s laying down now...................
I think Ginsburg is just too stubborn to expire.
Evil old crones like her and pickles seem to keep going and going. I guess hate and rage do the job.
McCain is too ill to be in the Senate chamber but is still seated. How does that work? How are you unable to show up for work, day after day, but still keep your job?
88yo and still seated?
...
She probably considered the seat her own personal property like McCain.
Will Webb’s kid always have been a Yankees fan?
Term limits please.
#One And Done
I hope so. I am very much looking forward to the U.S. Supreme Court becoming Ruthless.
