Cummings to lie in state at the Capitol
By Scott Wong - 10/18/19 06:41 PM EDT

The late Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), who died this week after a lengthy illness, will lie in state on Thursday in Statuary Hall, the old House chamber in the Capitol, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced.

A memorial service in the Capitol will be held Thursday morning for members of Congress, the Cummings family and special guests. After the service, there will be a viewing for the public.

House votes originally scheduled for Thursday are canceled as is customary when a dignitary is lying in state or honor in the Capitol building. The last House votes of the week will be held late Wednesday night.

It’s a rare honor to lie in state or honor in the Capitol. The last person to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda was President George H.W. Bush after his death last December. Before that, it was Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in August 2018.

We name aircraft carriers after politicians & fly the flag at half staff across the nation for any reason now, why not let a highly partisan, single issue congressman lie in state in the Rotunda. After all, politicians are America's high priests.

I had a witticism about the title, but I think I'll pass on it for now.  888mouth
