Sheila Jackson Lee: We’ve lasted some 400 years operating under the Constitution…
Hotair ^

Posted on 03/12/2014 9:28:04 PM PDT by chessplayer

I don’t typically like to give anyone too much grief for what could easily be an innocent mental-to-verbal lapse, but… c’mon, now. Given that she took to the House floor to explicitly argue against the constitutionality of the GOP’s proposed Enforce The Law Act, I must say that her argument might have been a teeny bit more convincing if she was a little more firm in her background knowledge of the actual Constitution. Yikes.

Correction, they drove through Hawaii and on to Guam, and Guam capsized!
This woman, and I use the term loosely, gives morons a bad name.

If the Constitution is 400 years old, Ms. Sheila Jackson Lee, which President, by executive order, delayed its implementation for 175 years?

Do not say anything negative, you will be considered intolerant. After all, she is African-American—wait I should not have said that either. Oh boy, am I in trouble now.

“”It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt” “
________________________________________________
I use a slightly different version:
“Better to be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
I have even used it on FR.

Fun factoid: 420 years ago, jews expelled from Ferdinand and Isabela’s Spain established a trading post in what is now southern New Mexico, making Socorro the longest continually inhabited settlement within modern US borders, and predating the nation by almost two centuries.

RATS have no clue about what the Constitution is or what it is for. They have been bending it out of shape for so long that it has no meaning for them.
