"Dis ain't my limozine"

Via Philip Klein, I can’t decide whether she’s serious or whether this is part of the Democrats’ new kitchen-sink approach to “messaging” about ObamaCare. She might be calculating that even an argument as inane as this one is worth making in order to counter the GOP’s claims that O-Care is unconstitutional. If you’re battling over public opinion, why not frame the other side’s actions as being as illegitimate as your own? So on the one hand, maybe she doesn’t really buy this and is simply engaged in a shrewd bit of PR. On the other hand — dude. Thus do nine-month-old legislatively-granted entitlements, some of which haven’t even taken effect yet, become “rights.” If you take this idea seriously, then meaningful reform of Social Security and Medicare (which Lee presumably would describe as property for Due Process purposes) would require constitutional amendments, which in turn would utterly paralyze a process that’s already close to total paralysis. Or have I misunderstood? If she’s suggesting that some lesser process is due than a full Article V amendment, then, er, shouldn’t a repeal bill duly enacted by Congress suffice? Or is the argument here that people with preexisting conditions, say, have always had a right to coverage under the Constitution and only lately have we “progressed” to the point where we’re willing to recognize that right? In that case, why’d they have to pass a bill last year? Patients should have simply sued and let the courts “find” a right to coverage in the “penumbras” of the Commerce Clause or whatever.

She’s a black woman right?
Ms. Lee is truly the lowest-common-denominator
Thanks for the photo posts.
This lady needs MORE public exposure.
Until enough of her constituents smack their forheads and realize
that they should never, ever vote for this person again.
I live in the district next door, represented by Michael McCaul, a solid conservative Tea Party patriot...
At least we know it’s not the water...
This woman is a moron and nothing more.

In her district, stupidity is rewarded, education is “the white man’s thang” and ignorance is “cool.”
Is there anyone with a lower IQ than this ditz?

Every election cycle we have groups who push the “get out the vote” meme. Me? I don’t want everyone to vote. I want those who have a grasp of reality heading to the polls. In fact, the old poll tax may not be a bad idea. Those on the government dole (welfare) should stay at home watching Oprah and Jerry Springer.
So, we were living unconstitutionally from 1789 to 2010? Who knew?
Our first mistake was not picking our own cotton.
“Sheila Jackson Lee: Repealing ObamaCare is unconstitutional”
Who is more retarded; this moron or those that voted for her?
What a disgusting creature.
I hear that question asked a lot. For one thing, there are a lot of low income people of color in her hood and she talks like they do. But think about it. How do people like that get in there and stay there decade after decade, even after folks have had plenty of chances to see what buffoonish idiots they have elected? It’s because she’s dirty. She is dirty as the day is long, and she has a machine that goes out and delivers the votes to the polls. She does whatever the hell she wants - there is documented evidence of her in the early voting lines electioneering and campaigning, and then screaming at and berating the poll watchers. She THINKS she is untouchable, and at this point she is right. I pray to God she gets it in the end.
Hateful, hateful woman.
