Actually, this is a bad thing.
Congressional Reps should spend about half their time helping constituents who have trouble when trying to do "business" with the Federal government. The other half of the time they should be engaged in their function of government oversight (doing things like making sure the alphabet agencies are doing their jobs and keeping America safe from terrorist attacks). Only a small part of their job should be dedicated to new legislation. Some 86,000 new laws are place on the books every year in this country (obviously, not all from Congress), which indicates that representatives across the board (state and Federal) have their priorities mixed up. They spend way too much time on new legislation instead of representing their constituents with matters before the government bureaucracies.

Uhhhhh, do you realize who Jackson-Lee's constituents are?

They're a bunch of lazy slobs who spend their whole lives sucking at the teat of government. And what comes out of those teats is the taxes you and I pay.
