Sheila Jackson Lee: Republicans Engaged in ‘War on Black People’ Voting

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) said Tuesday on CNN’s “Tonight” that the Republican Party was engaged in “a war on black people as it relates to voting.”

Anchor Don Lemon said, “The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today that could weaken voting rights in Arizona. Major push nationwide to make it harder for people to vote. What does this mean particularly for black voters?”

Jackson Lee said, “Well, I think tragically we have not had this historic opposition to our rights since slavery, during the Jim Crow days and of course the harshness of the 1960s. The tragedy of this is an entire party, the Republican Party, is committed to voter suppression, committed to avoiding the opportunity of votes. Donald Trump laid out he only wants one day for votes. They don’t want opportunities for absentee ballot, extended voting, same-day registration, all things that empower young people and people of color, African-Americans.”

She continued, “This is a war on black people as it relates to voting. Unfortunately, it seems to Supreme Court is going to participate with this seemingly intended decision to narrow the only remaining aspect of the Voting Right Act, Section 2, which we are trying to fix with the John Robert Lewis legislation in HR4. This is a fight for democracy, a fight for justice, and an opportunity or a desire or a need to restore the voting rights to people of color and particularly black people. We will not allow this to happen under the Biden administration and the Democratic House and Senate. It’s tragic that Republicans want to take that stand because they can’t win fairly. They can’t draw people to their positions. They are now trying to suppress the votes.”

The 12/4/19 first impeachment hearings evidenced a dimension of Yale grad Sheila J/L's fulminating ignorance that is nothing short of mind-boggling.

Judiciary Democrat Cong S/J/Lee (D-Texas) urged Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan to comment
as S/J/L ignorantly drew a parallel between then-Pres Trump and a monarch.

S/J/L" “What comparisons can we make between kings, that the framers were afraid of, and the president’s conduct today?” she calculatedly asked Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan, who was called to testify as a (cough) constitutional law expert.

Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan continued the ignorance----replying “Kings could do no wrong because the king’s word was law, but contrary to what Pres Trump says, Article II does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” Karlan said. “The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility,......the ignoramus stated....referring to Trump's son Barron,...." he cannot make him a baron,” the dippy professor continued.

REALITY CHECK The Yale and Stanford types had no clue that Barron Trump's name has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH NOBILITY.

Barron Trump is named after Barron Hilton, of Hilton Hotel fame, a close friend of Pres Trump. The name Barron originated from the Old French and was often used as a nickname for a peasant who aspired to land ownership.

=================================

It is laughable that Yalie Cong S/J/L and Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan think Trump aspired to royalty and named his son Barron as an expression of that.

Shockingly, Karlan has been on the Stanford Law School faculty since 1998, is an "expert" on constitutional law and the Supreme Court, and has argued nine cases before the Supreme Court.

I would strongly suggest Stanford Law School students drop classes taught by Prof Karlan lest the future lawyers jeopardize legal careers by an unfortunate exposure to classes taught by a clearly unqualified Prof Karlan.

“ What does this mean particularly for black voters?”

Particularly for black voters?
What...y’all special or something?
Frankly, too many are willing to allow their vote to be harvested for a few bucks. If it means anything, it may help to keep the count honest in spite of Democrats cheating.

Despite her disdain for Barron Trump's nomenclature, Sheila Jackson Lee is
infamous for telling aides "she herself is a queen and wants to be treated like one."

S/J/L also "forgot" Ameica fought a Revolutionay War to throw off the shackles of British royalty.

"I'm a queen and demand to be treated like one," a former staffer recalled Lee saying.

It was never officially recorded, but ex-aides to Lee went to the Daily Caller to complain about her being the 'worst boss' in the Capitol.

Report: Sheila Jackson Lee is ‘worst boss’ on Capitol Hill
By Richard Dunham on January 24, 2013 at 9:54 AM

Houston Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is a tough boss. Even she will tell you that. After all, one former staff member famously told the conservative web site The Daily Caller that the Democratic congressman once declared, “I’m a queen, and I demand to be treated like one.”

A 2011 Texas on the Potomac investigation revealed that Jackson Lee went through more staff more quickly than any other member of the Texas congressional delegation. Now, a new study by the Washington Times found that the veteran Texas Democrat had the highest turnover rate for all of Congress over the past decade.
