Really Sheila Jackson Lee? Because there are less important problems??

Perhaps the mods should turn this title into stupid things politicians have time.

Seriously, politicians should have to work like all other Americans by having at least two underemployed jobs

“We will … decrease the incidence of gun violence resulting from vigilantes by reducing by 20 percent the funds that would otherwise be allocated… to any state that does not require local neighborhood watch programs to be registered with a local [law] enforcement agency,” Jackson Lee said on the House floor.

She said her bill would also use the threat of less federal money to entice states to change their “stand your ground” laws. Jackson Lee said her bill would only allow states to avoid a cut if their laws are amended to include a “duty to retreat.”

Endlessly embarrassing that she's a Texan.

Agreed. But her district is so gerrymandered, that she truly represents her constituents.

Misshapen and in pieces?

[RoyGBiv]

Interesting coincidence that when you go to her House page, the drop-down menu to access her district map doesn't function properly.

[Chuck Haggard]

Nope, that's not obvious or anything.

[LHS]

That's un-possible. Everyone knows that only Republicans gerrymander...

Once again, Maryland FTW! Most "gerrymandered" congressional district in the US:

It's only wrong if a (R) does it in MD.
