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.

“Diversity is awesome. What does Hank Johnson think?”

Our biggest fear should be that somehow Hank and Sheila have “offspring.” We need to pass a bill to have her spayed.

“Those who voted for her are dumber than she is.”

Here are her district’s stats. No question what the problem is:

Population (2000), 651,619. Median income, $31,293. Ethnicity, 36.9% White, 40.4% Black, 3.4% Asian, 35.6% Hispanic, 0.4% Native American, 0.5% other. Cook PVI, D+22 (2012). Texas District 18 of the United States House of Representatives is a ... The current Representative from District 18 is Sheila Jackson Lee.

In this district, she’s probably considered a Mensa! It’s 75% minority!

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee earned a B.A. in Political Science from Yale University with honors, followed by a J.D. from the University of Virginia Law School.

They really should refund the tuition.

Shelia, where was it written if it was 400 years old? In London? Or on Mars?
