Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) declared the U.S. Constitution to be 400 years old Wednesday on the House floor, which would mean it was signed in 1614.
“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,” she said.
That would be seven years after Jamestown, Virginia became America’s first permanent English settlement.
Lee is off by only 173 years. It was adopted on Sep. 17, 1787.
You get representatives the truly represent them in all ways.
We can’t expect everyone to be as smart as those that frequent FreeRepublic can we?
>> How in hell does this nincompoop keep getting reelected over and over again?
She is judged by the color of her skin, and nothing more.
Forget it, she’s rollin’...
I want two fried chickens and a coke!
Maybe not an IQ test, but a test of elementary US history & civics is in order. To allow a person this ignorant of even rudimentary facts to hold a position of power is irresponsible, reckless, destructive, and unacceptable.
lol!
We’re electing into power people that 50 or 100 years ago would have been considered traitors and idiots. They’ve always been around and always will, but it’s quite a different thing to give them power over you.
And will last 400 years if Bummer would be out of office!
It’s demise is very close!
Well, by the time the Pilgrims landed in 1878 they’d already been oppressing the slaves for 500 years. It averages out.
Because in her district she is actually in the top quartile in terms of intelligence. That and her district is about 95% democrat.
As I recall, life was hard back then, even under the Constitution. Fighting the dinosaurs added additional hardships.
The REALLY annoying thing about this person is her complete lack of shame - most idiots at least make some attempt to hide their lack of knowledge or common sense.
When you consider the fact that there are locales in this country that will elect and re-elect imbeciles like this dunce (and their numbers seem to be increasing)over and over again, I fear that this great nation will not actually last for 400 years. Perhaps not too much longer.
Such an intellectual!
Absolutely perfect! lol
“She thinks the Nasa Astronauts landed on Mars too, so...”
Yes, but it was kept under wraps after they were eaten by dinosaurs.
As I have said before “stupid does not have a color.”

Don't get between her and a camera.
She is an aisle hog when Congress meets.
She will attend any funeral at any time but she throws things at employees and curses in front of everybody in her office; she curses her employees.
I'm just beginning.
She is ignorant and a very disagreeable diva - and I'm being nice.
