Silly Season
Via AllahPundit, Sheila Jackson Lee makes a ridiculous statement on the GOP proposal to repeal the health bill:
The Fifth Amendment speaks specifically to denying someone their life and liberty without due process [. . .] That is what H.R. 2 does and I rise in opposition to it. And I rise in opposition because it is important that we preserve lives and we recognize that 40 million-plus are uninsured. [. . .] Can you tell me what’s more unconstitutional than taking away from the people of America their Fifth Amendment rights, their Fourteenth Amendment rights, and the right to equal protection under the law?
I can think of many things that are "more unconstitutional" than repeal of the health bill because repeal of the health bill would not be unconstitutional. Congressional debate is always ridiculous.
Speaking for me only
