March 12, 2014 4:25 PM Jackson Lee: US Has Been 'Operating' Under Constitution for 400 Years By Andrew Johnson

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee gave us a peek into the depth of her knowledge of American history on Wednesday. Here’s what she had to say about the Constitution:

“Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority — the Republicans, my chairman and others — for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not.”

The U.S. Constitution was actually ratified in 1788, some 225 years ago. The Texas congresswoman’s remarks came during a House debate on the Enforce the Law Act, which would grant Congress the authority to file a lawsuit against the president if he fails uphold his constitutional responsibilities.

Actually, you can’t blame her.
She runs and the idiots in her district keep reelecting her.
She is really not at fault.
Dumber than a sack of rocks? YES
Poster child for needing a ‘simple’ test for running? YES

Proof that people do need education in order to vote? YES

Amazing!!!!We need licenses for everything we do in everyday life. We need proof to get in a library. We need proof to get into a book signing. The unions require proof to attend a meeting. VFW requires proof to enter a club or meeting. Proof is needed to get into a movie.

In reality the ONLY 2 things that people do with any kind of regularity where NO proof or NO training is required is to

BREED and VOTE.......

By BREED I mean between humans because you need a license to breed animals.....

Which really are two very important factions that a society needs to exist......

What a scholar!

***********

My guess that Jack-Lee had no input into the writing. It was done by some staffer
and all Jack-Lee did was read it out loud. I doubt it ever crossed her mind as it
made on impression upon her.

Voting patterns have shown that one does not have to actually be alive to be a democrat

Or live in the district. Seriously.

I think it was the True the Vote organization that started looking at voter registration in Lee's district, and found large clusters of voters at a handful of addresses.

They went to look at the addresses, and they were vacant buildings, vacant lots, or houses too small for the number of alleged residents.

The reasons for the phenomena is an exercise for the reader.

Shelia, who wrote it Shakespeare? 400 years? I guess Massoquoit (the Indian who met the Pilgrims) wrote it because he knew they were coming.
Evil white people, taken credit for what an Indian did.
