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.

There's a fundamental flaw with the premises of this article: Sheila Jackson doesn't think, period.

Sheila Jackson Lee is proof the Founders failed by not requiring an IQ higher than algae for election to public office. The woman gives idiots a bad name.

I was about to opine Ms Lee is a few clowns short of a circus. But, then the thought occurred: she's part of congress and Ringling Brothers have already threatened to sue. They want their rings back.

"Don’t you let them tell you that Congresswoman Jackson-Lee’s braids are too tight in her hair and that has something to do with justice and equality and empowerment of the American people.
Don’t let them fool you on that."

Queen Sheila of The Triple Crown Weave has never been hit by a coherent thought in her entire life.
Somewhere in New York, a village is missing their IDIOT.
