Sheila Jackson Lee Suggests Martial Law to End Government Shutdown

DC Clothesline ^ | 10/13/2013 | Tim Brown

[Cheerio]

So let's see if I understand this wack job - she wants the Executive Branch (Article two) to issue an martial law order shutting down the Congress's right (Article ONE) to not fund a particular item so precious in the RAT agenda as to start a war over?

Do I have that about right?

[dennisw]

The Congressional Black caucus are the smartest people in Congress. Why don’t we let them run America? They would do a great job I am sure

[Cheerio]

This clown and his party want CW2 pretty bad don’t they.

[EricT.]

She feels comfortable threatening the American people.

Maybe the American people should threaten her a bit.

[IbJensen]

They are running America.

With their ‘white knight’ at the head of the column, they’re finally in charge; but, wait until it’s payback time. We’ll never have that unless the right makes a clean sweep, otherwise viva la revolucion!

Meanwhile, the negro on white crime escalates with robberies, murders and rapings. They behave like they’re in South Africa murdering farmers and their familes by the scores.

[IbJensen]

Shame on you for that totally uncalled for callous remark.

Bet you’d like to have that nose full of gold coins.

[Maelstorm]

I wish Obama would take her advice. Declaring martial law would be like a declaration of civil war. It would give credibility to every conspiracy theorist about the nature of this President and his goals. If miss Sheila Jackson Lee wants to see a reply of the Civil war where the south wins declare Martial law.

Proof that nobody here reads beyond the headline.

---

The term “martial law” in a legislative context is somewhat obscure but it has been used before to define lawmakers’ ability to “fast track” bills without going through the usual congressional process.

It *would appear* (based on reading the article) that this “martial law” is not the type you saw after Katrina but nor analogous to when the congresscritters say “nuclear option”. It’s a legislative maneuver, as opposed to something that happens on main streey of anytown USA.

Could she have something even more nefarious in mind? Well sure. But that’s not what the article is purportedly saying.

Am I a SJL defender or advocate? Far from it. Just pointing out that there’s more than just the headline.

Well, when you put it that way, it is quite a nose indeed, and I imagine it could hold well more than two handfuls of gold coins!!

[dennisw]

It’s called BRA -— Black run America -—
Not literally true but who can deny such programs as 0bamacare are designed to take white money and give it to blacks. much that is done in America these days is designed to tax whites more and somehow transfer the proceeds to blacks Hispanics illegal aliens and other minorities.

I am generalizing of course
When morons like Shelia Jackson Lee speak this way they speak as though blacks (12% of the population) call the shots here

Thanks IbJensen.

"We have martial law -- what that means -- and my colleagues know what it means -- is that you can put a bill on in just minutes," she added... Darla Dawald writes:

However, Lee’s insistence that a Senate-approved resolution to fund the federal government be fast-tracked via "martial law" appears to conflict with Article I, Section 7, Clause I of the Constitution, which states, "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives."

THAT may very well be true! An insidious desensitization in the worx.

[Berosus]

For me the biggest whopper came back around 2003, when SJL accused NOAA of racism for not giving hurricanes black names.
