Sheila Jackson Lee Thinks the Constitution is 400 Years Old

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.

Did anybody ask her how many states there are in the USA?

Apparently she thinks the country is also 400 years old. "...a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional"? Well, what else would it do?

Islands flipping over and capsizing comes to mind.

Someone so blatantly uneducated, willfully ignorant just plain stupid is a disgrace to our Congress (and that is really saying something).
An honest press would have shamed her out of office by now. An honest process would have gerrymandered her district to make sure the voters put her out of office.

Impossible. England hadn’t even tipped over yet.

I bet if you asked her to rate how smart she was she’d give you an answer of somewhere between above average and far above average.

After 400 years, that flag on Mars was the last straw and caused Guam to capsize.
