"It is extraordinary, don't get me wrong. But I'm feeling the pain of the constituents I left [at] home," Jackson Lee said, speaking on the progressive Ed Schultz's radio show. "I consider this a crisis. I consider leaving Americans without unemployment insurance for January and February a crime. I consider not extending the payroll tax cut ... a crime."

Too bad for her circumventing the Constitution is an actual crime. I could just as easily proclaim that a President Paul should use executive power to make Sheila Jackson Lee shut her goddamn mouth.
