U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was arrested at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday for engaging in civil disobedience in support of a federal voting rights bill.
“Yes I engaged in civil disobedience today in front of the Hart Building in Washington, D.C., and I was arrested,” the Houston Democrat said in a video posted on Twitter.
It was unclear what Jackson Lee was doing at the building to spur the arrest.

Unless she ends up at the end of a rope, it’s all kabuki.

I hope she sits in the jail as long as the Jan 6 people.
But I strongly doubt it.

Oh goody, will she be put in the same Federal lockup the January 6th “insurgents” are currently being housed within? Denied access to legal representation, religious counseling, proper nutrition, exercise, due process and Congressional oversight?

An exception to the ban on chokeholds would certainly be timely.

What a colossal joke! Nothing will happen to her....nothing.
To: bgill
Throw her in the same prison where they are are storing the Jan 6 political prisoners. No trial is necessary.

Put her in with the January 6th detainees. Keep her there as long as they stay in detention.
