[COBOL2Java]

A judge has refused to dismiss a federal lawsuit accusing Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of discriminating against and mocking a disabled staffer

My triple-crown weave be too tight

[rightwingextremist1776]

Hoisted on her own petard...how nice!

[volunbeer]

The ignorance and stupidity of this woman is shocking. What it says about our nation that such a person could be elected to Congress is frightening.

[Obadiah]

Aother leftist reveals what really lurks within their heart.

Speech or Debate clause of the Constitution

This reminds me of Congressman William J. Jefferson attempting to block a search of his office. Couldn't remember his name at first, so I googled "Congressman cold hard cash."

[haircutter]

oh Sheila...

just love your stylish hair style..very becoming for YOU...

an orangutan in people clothes. how cute.

She represents the uneducated masses, which currently surpasses more than 50% of the American population.

This explains her problem:

[jiggyboy]

Mrs. Jackson Lee’s legal team sought to have the complaint dismissed, arguing in part that actions concerning her staff are protected under the Speech or Debate clause of the Constitution.

If that's her best defense, her next step will be looking for her checkbook.

[jiggyboy]

That was the event that convinced me that today’s Republicans were just a different shade of Democrat. Brand-name Republicans were almost pushing each other out of the way to make the same argument that Jefferson was.

[Gasshog]

must be witnesses or else the She-Hag would just lie and say she didnt say it. Brave employees to defy Queen Kong thats fer shore.

[stonewall_jackson215]

“arguing in part that actions concerning her staff are protected under the Speech or Debate clause of the Constitution. In a lengthy ruling, the judge disagreed.”

too bad Sens Packwood and Hatfield didn’t have the benefit of her BRILLIANT legal advice

[wiggen]

Maybe they should have gone to you.

[Gasshog]

Queenie shouldnt hire disabled folk if she dont like the limitations they have. Queenie is stupid though. ha ha.

[SeminoleCounty]

The ones who whine racism and bigotry quite often are the ones who are racist and bigoted

Maybe LaToya Jackson Lee can go find that other kookoo Congressman and go tip over Guam or something

[AuH2ORepublican]

Hatfield was never accused of harassment, was he?

[stonewall_jackson215]

my bad, i erroneously thought he and packwood were “partners in crime.” mea culpa

[TBP]

She hates white people.
