Did anyone watch Sheila Jackson-Lee yesterday?

Posted: Jan 20, 2011

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?

Part of the Cavuto video is here:

Not to mention that car insurance is required by the states, not the federal government.

Congress just amazes me every day not only in their ignorance of the Constitution and its application, but ignorance of the bills they pass through Congress without even bothering to read!!! I know they're busy people, but for something this important, they should have made the time to go through page by page.

Sheila Jackson Lee: The Race Card Hits Its Debt Limit Posted By Daniel Greenfield Two days after being sued for discrimination by a disabled aide, Representative Sheila Jackson Lee stood on the floor of the house and accused opponents of the debt limit hike of racism. The race card she was using had expired long ago, but the media has never gotten the message. Instead it’s pushing stories about the FBI investigating racist cartoons sent to Jackson Lee’s fax machine. It’s an old comforta ...

Jackson Lee: Congress complicating debt ceiling because Obama is black By Josiah Ryan - 07/15/11 03:02 PM ET Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race. "I do not understand what I think is the maligning and maliciousness [toward] this president,” said Jackson Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Ca ...

Maybe an effort to distance himself from the "bad" cops. Maybe helps Ferguson in their civil rights law suit. And, IMO, (and only my opinion) they might just indict Darren Wilson after all. Frankly, if there is any culpability at all, it makes sense to save the city and hang Wilson out, guilty or not. Personally, I think he is guilty, but that really doesn't matter. http://preview.msn.com/en-us/video/news/ferguson-police-chief-apologizes/vi-BB5J85K ...

One gets down on black Christians who get tangled up with BLM. She talks about reverse racism in the black community, the failures of Obama, Sharpton, etc. See link below. She says something to the effect of "What have they (liberals) done for you? Let's put it to the test. Get in your car and drive around the black community....what do you see, hmmm? I was in the hood last week and it looked like death. But you keep voting for them. Insanity ...

Neil kept asking if it was okay to riot, loot and destroy other people's property. He kept switching it to the banks looting....as in Wells Fargo employees. Then justified what is happening in Charlotte even the looting and destruction of property. Listen closely because he isn't speaking very clearly. I lovee it when he said "it doesn't matter the color" yet stands up for blacks and spews hatred for whites. Racism is alive and well with him. He just keeps veering ...

Today: And the American International Group is contractually obliged to make bonus payments of nearly $200 million in March 2010. The company has promised to try to reduce that amount by 30 percent. But once again, there is nothing Mr. Feinberg can do because those bonuses were already written into contracts — and there is a high likelihood that the bonuses will create another furor in Congress, just as they did earlier this year. A year ago: For instance, it is critical for General Mot ...

I know it's hard to believe, but I was actually shocked speechless yesterday. I went into store that just opened up a few months ago in the town next to me. It is an accessories store. They sell knockoff designer handbags, sunglasses, scarves, jewelery and other things. I was talking to the man who owned the store as I was browsing the items. I had picked out a few things I liked and was planning on purchasing them. Then, as we were discussing the handbags he had in the store, he showed me ...

we had to do a most agonizing task... put our almost 16-year-old fur baby to sleep. It's like losing a family member, because our fur babies do truly become family members. Since starting working at home about 15 years ago, she has spent almost all day every day with me. It may sound silly to some, but the pain of her loss is almost unbearable. I think I'm doing okay, but then something triggers that pain again and I can't help but just sit and cry. I would really appreciate your ...

That's okay. He was a bit weak anyway. Haven't heard a lot from him lately. John Kelly will be the new COS guy on Monday. Now they'll need to asign someone for head of the DHS. Hope it's someone as good as Kelly.What's going on now must be a 6-month shakeup but usually most shakeups and resignations happen closer to a year into a new administration.

Turn off Fox and turn on your brains. It really isn't as bad as you think. Untwist the lies and manipulations and you will find a middle-of-the-road president who represents all of us -- conservatives, liberals, moderates -- to the best of his ability, with the aid (or hindrance) of the House of Representatives and Senate. People need to stop clinging to the ridiculous falsehoods that Obama is a socialist (or communist or terrorist or whatever the latest figment of someone's imaginati ...
