\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s do Sheila Jackson Lee, and let\u2019s do some Sheila Jackson Lee greatest hits. She is a member of Congress from Houston, and this is what she said late yesterday afternoon on the floor of the House.<\/p>\n

LEE: 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.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it doesn\u2019t. If it clearly defined it, then you people wouldn\u2019t be trying to go outside it all the time, and you wouldn\u2019t be running to the Supreme Court every time you want to get something named unconstitutional. Four hundred years. We petitioned for our independence in 1776. That\u2019s when the Declaration was signed, July 4th. Then we had to fight the Revolutionary War, and it wasn\u2019t \u2019til after that that we got the Constitution. The Constitution didn\u2019t happen \u2019til later in the 1700s. She\u2019s got it happening way back 400 years ago.<\/line><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s continue with our flashbacks, Sheila Jackson Lee, December 12th, 2013, again on the floor of the House.<\/p>\n

LEE: Call us back, Mr. Boehner! Call us back, Mr. Boehner! Let us vote to provide for unemployment insurance for working men and women — (gavel bangs)<\/p>\n

SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: Gentlewoman\u00c2\u2019s time —<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Call us back, Mr. Speaker! Let us provide for unemployment<\/a> insurance for working men and women.” Now, you\u2019re thinking, surely she has to know. What that is, it\u2019s just syllables that they utter. “Working men and women” is just syllables that they utter in their never ending quest to make working men and women think they\u2019re looking out for \u2019em. <\/p>\n

So we need unemployment compensation<\/a> for working men and women. We need welfare benefits for working men and women. We need health care for working men. Whatever we need, it\u2019s for working men and women. And working men and women are who? Members of unions. That\u2019s what the “working man” means, in Democrat Party lingo. You may have a job, but if you\u2019re not in a union, you\u2019re not a working man. You\u2019re white-collar, you\u2019re management, you are evil incarnate. The working man is a blue-collar union member. February 13th of last year, again on the floor of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

LEE: Yesterday was the official birthday of President Lincoln, February 12th. And although it was a tragic time in our history, I can assure you that it showed the greatest promise of America when people could come together and do something great. I stand here as a freed slave because this Congress came together.<\/p>\n
