Let's not forget that during a 1997 visit to the Mars Pathfinder operations center, Jackson Lee asked whether the Pathfinder rover had taken a picture of the U.S. flag planted by Neil Armstrong. The standards for being a lawyer have truly fallen.
I'm ashamed to admit that she's an alumni of my alma mater. Two funny stories. One, she's fond of saying that she was studying accounting and one of her accounting professors encouraged her to switch to political science and the law track because she had too much personality to be a CPA.
That professor was famous for using that line on students that weren't cutting it in the accounting program.
The second was she claimed to have also been inspired to the law after a series of "hate crimes" on campus, keying cars of black students. The word on that was that the black students association was behind it to drum up relevancy.
Every state has their political embarrassments. Take Minnesota: in addition to our laughingstock governor, consider that we sent Al Franken to the Senate. And if that isn't bad enough, we produced the congresscritter who wrote the actual enforcement legislation for Prohibition: Henry Volstead.
No, Tiffanie, wait a cotton picking minute, pIease, I think not. It's not Cultural Appropriation when your culture comes from a petri dish. You can observe on a slide smear under a microscope that it includes an equitable amount of diverse culture to pick & choose from. ☺
Just thinking out loud. We are a Republic, not a Democracy. Voting is an act of Democracy. Rep. Crockett is a product of Democracy. That patriarchal bomb-thrower, H.L. Mencken, said it best: "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
We need more immigrants because "we done pickin cotton"? First off, does this twant know that people don't pick cotton, we have machines for that now? and next, is she suggesting that we keep the old pattern of "bring in undermench to do the scut work at slavery wages, until they find an even more undermench to replace them?" Because that's what it sounds like.
Seems to me that her comment has some massive implications.
Maybe we should start going to Israel and saying we would like to buy your prisoners, same thing with Russia and Ukraine. Excuse me gents we will offer you $25 a head, no questions asked.
No immigrants are not slaves, though her implication suggests it. Her comments even demand we accept a tiered society with blacks being the tier above immigrants and below everyone else. Fortunately, people are beginning to see the absurdity of her race baiting comments, unfortunately those awakening people are not her constituents.
Our country is founded on immigration, but not simply immigration instead immigration where people leave their country and come to America not to become hyphenated Americans, just Americans.

"Too much personality"? 🤣👏 I will be using this when I run into people who can't cut it in some career.
As an example of a lawyer, she is proof of Didn't Earn It.
And as my dad* said, a lawyer knows the law (or should), and attorney has a client. (*Stanford Law Review, 1950s).
Jackson-Lee has causes, not cases, destructive politics, and a hatred of people, not an understanding of them.

I understand how you feel. The state I was born in gave the world Joe Biden. 🤦♂️
When she talks like that, isn't she guilty of Cultural Appropriation, since it's not her culture?
