Neil Cavuto interviewed her later on his show. I couldn't believe my ears! She equated mandatory health insurance with mandated car insurance......again. When will some of these representatives understand that if you drive a car, you need to buy car insurance, but if you don't drive a car, you don't need the insurance?
The MSM, so far, has not picked up on this story, as to be expected so, unfortunately, all I can give are blogs, which I really don't like to use. Neil Cavuto tried to get some real answers from her and all she would do was state the Constitution, citing amendments to the Constitution.
Watch the video link. It won't post here. I just wish the whole interview with Neil Cavuto was available. It was interesting, to say the least.
"Yesterday Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) took to the House floor in opposition to House Resolution 2, the Repealing the Job Killing Health Care Law Act.
Arguing the unconstitutionality of the repeal she said:
Can you tell me what’s more unconstitutional than taking away from the people of America their Fifth Amendment rights, their Fourteenth Amendment rights, and the right to equal protection under the law?
Wow. Earlier, during the committee hearing she made her “argument” on how this bill “violates the 14th Amendment.” "
...She concluded by saying, “I’m prepared to stand, extend a hand of friendship, standing on the Constitution to enable us to provide for all the citizens of this country. This bill has been vetted. This bill is constitutional and it protects the Constitutional rights of those who ask the question: ‘Must I die? Must my child die, because I am now disallowed from getting insurance?’"
The bill has been vetted? How much would you like to bet she hasn’t even read it? I think that having members of Congress read the Constitution out loud was lost on her since she’s just going to make up what it means anyway.
Evidently, she is not well-liked by some people in TX. Some comments I read stated she went to NASA to watch the Rover on Mars, and she asked the technicians to show her where the astronauts planted the flag. Are you kidding me?
