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.

Yes folks, proof positive that there are dim-bulb-crats even more stupid than the Obamadork.

But this wench is surely a collectable classic.

How can a brain sustain life given so little IQ?

It was a great day when Captain John Smith went on television to announce the constitution to the country!

Can we give her back when we secede? She hasn’t got the brain power to clean a room or flip a hamburger patty.

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

Interesting...I did not know that the U.S. Constitution has been in operation since before the Pilgims landed at Plymouth Rock. After all that money I spent on education over the years, somehow or other I never learned that fact. I wonder if I can sue my teachers and schools, and have this dimbulb testify at the hearing?

The woman (and I use that term loosely here) is mentally ill. She is literally not fit to hold office.

It’s already been asserted that correcting someone of her ethnic background is inherently “racist”.
