And when we are done with Joe Horn we are going to go back to Mars to see if we can locate the spot where Armstrong planted the flag.

U.S Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee today said she has called for congressional hearings to investigate what she calls ''the many downfalls" of the Harris County judicial system.
Recent incidents, including a grand jury's decision not to indict a Pasadena man who shot and killed two men suspected of burglarizing his neighbor, have brought into question whether the system is fair and unbiased, she said.
The Democrat, who represents District 18, said she is also concerned and frustrated about derogatory e-mails circulated in the Harris County Sheriff's Offices, the mishandling of DNA by the Harris County District Attorney's Office and the number of deaths in the Harris County Jail over the past 10 years.
''With the many misgivings surrounding the Harris County judicial system, it is fair to say that this local judicial system has been tarnished," Lee said during a news conference at the Mickey Leland Federal Building. "It is time for all officials to be held accountable and true justice and democracy restored."
Sheriff's spokesman Lt. John Legg said Sheriff Tommy Thomas was unaware of Lee's news conference and declined to comment.
Lee said she plans to bring the congressional hearings to Houston in the next couple of weeks.
The hearings, for example, will assess how the evidence in the Joe Horn case was presented to the grand jury.
District Attorney Ken Magidson has said he could not comment on the grand jury's secret proceedings. Horn has asserted that he fired out of fear for his life, making the shooting justifiable under Texas law. Under some circumstances, the law permits the use of deadly force to protect property.

Exactly. Sheila's intent is to intimitate the Harris County judicial system to allow more criminal Blacks to plunder civilized society.
Under what authority does the congress have a right to investigate the juries failure to indict?
Did she demand an investigation of the OJ jury?
And when we are done with Joe Horn we are going to go back to Mars to see if we can locate the spot where Armstrong planted the flag.
She is every bit as bigoted, ugly and hateful as that photo shows.
She would do well in Obama’s fake church. She could be Obama’s wife’s mentor.
She and I have met and she prolly still remembers me.
Sheila Jackson Lee is a carpet bagger elected by the morons of her district who are too stupid to elect a local. She is only interested in self promotion like Quannel x. As soon as I see either one of their fat faces on tv, I change it so fast I am surprised I have not destroyed my remote
Now, ain’t that the truth!
Hey Congresswoman Lee - How ‘bout that Mars Pathfinder?
Why did an elected official (Scary Reid) step on a private citizen’s (Rush) toes? Hmmmm
They would rather cause trouble than do their job. This is more about taking our protection away then feeling sorry for two thieves.
Does this liberal idiot even know that a grand jury is composed of ordinary citizens, that they therefore outrank the DA, and that this is the very reason for their existence???
I think it is a matter of perceptions here Sheila... where I am... I only see upside!
Since they don’t mention her party affiliation, I’ll say she’s a Democrat.
Enjoy it while it last.
I'm betting your district kicks your black butt out for not supporting Obama while acting like Hillary's House N-Word.
Isn’t this the same woman that constantly criticizes President Bush and then is always in the front row to get a handshake from Bush when he comes in for his State of the Union address? She’ll do anything for some T.V. face time. I’m sure she’s best friends with her idealogical bud Maxine Waters. Those two could get with Eleanor Holmes Norton and form the Stupid Women’s club.
You should reconsider that Pop. People such as those are seriously screwing up the future of this country. Maybe you wont be around when they succeed in turning this paradise into a third-world hellhole but I’m sure someone you love today will be. They may have to take up arms to stop the socialist elite in the future.
How about you and me making a concerted effort to vote them into oblivion before our offspring have to duke it out physically with them. Deal?

>>why is an elected federal officeholder pushing for a federal level inquiry into what is, essentially, a LOCAL issue?<<
Because it’s Sheila Jackass Leech. ‘Nuff said.
Can’t we make her go away? Such a useless creature.
SJL recall vote petition ..............where is it ?
Joe Horn removed two of her voters is my guess !
