Jackson Lee’s press secretary Mike McQuerry reiterated to The Daily Caller that Congresswoman Lee is pushing the bill now because “she’s always been interested in what happened with Trayvon.”
However, Zimmerman waived his right to a defense under Florida’s stand-your-ground law. When TheDC pointed this out, McQuerry said merely, ”She just thinks it’s the right time to pursue it now.”
Florida’s stand-your-ground law has benefited African-Americans at a rate disproportionate to the size of the state’s black population.
Whatever you do, don't let hypocrisy or the facts get in the way.....
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
So, the idiot is introducing a bill to cut funding to the state she "represents".
Has anyone told her she is an idiot? They may be doing her a favor. She may not know.

They oughta make a rule in Congress that no issue that has been in the news in the past 30 days can be used to create a new law without a two thirds vote for approval of its introduction. This knee jerk create-a-law-for-this crap needs to stop.
