sheila jackson lee says it ought to be.e continuously empathized is the president's leadership on one single point, that although health care was not listed per se in the constitution, it should be a constitutional right. >> by the way, jackson lee said, to quote the declaration of independence, you have the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness and health and education fall into those rights. here's judge andrew napolitano. >> you couldn't find somebody less sympathetic if you tried. >> you couldn't. >> i respect her courage to go with other members of the government won't go. >> they would like to go there. >> yes, they would. that's what i mean. there are democrats who agree with her who don't push it to the extent she has. she's done it before. i respect that. she stimulates the conversation like the one we are having, but if she read the declaration of independence, which incidentally, is the first statute enacted by the congress and still the law of the land today, the first statute on the first page of the

>> well, don't confuse me with sheila jackson-lee. but i will say this. to jonathan's point, we do have mandatory education. you have to send your kids to school. i think education is very important but your health is everything. >> so education is right. health care is a right. >> i thnk health care is absolutely a right. >> what about a big house >> liste come on, if you don't have your health, the health is the most important thing in the world. if you don't have your health, you have nothing. >> if you live in jersey, a nice car is also pretty important. >> look, you're going to let a sick baby die? cause he doesn't have health care? i mean we're -- this is inhumane if you're telling me people don't deserve some form of health care. look, i'll be theirst person to tell you obama care is a piece of crap an is not going to help our health care system. but to tell me that you're going to allow people in our fine country that our forefounders found, allow these people to just -- >> who said that? who said that? >> i'm just saying everybody deserves someth

just ask comewoman sheila jackson lee -- just ask congresswoman sheila jackson lee. >> although health care was not listed in the constitution, it should be a constitution right. >>steve: what do you think about that? we're watching "fox & friends" live from new york friends" live from new york city. [ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all ma

speaker, and to recognize the gentlelady from texas, congresswoman sheila jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: thank you very much. and i thank you for this special order and express my appreciation to mr. horsford and to mr. jeverries for continuing to educate our colleagues on extremely important issues and i'm delighted to join the congressional black caucus as it proceeds continuously to ensure that we advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. i am -- i want to take up an issue that has struck home and is being confronted by many states, some of whom are in the south, and some are in other places throughout the nation. i was very pleased to stand with my fellow democrats and support the affordable care act. i could go through the journey of 2009 and 2010, when many of us spread out across the country and confronted misinformation through town hall meetings, and s dr controversy conflict he hadness and what should be emphasized as the president's leadership on one single point that although health care was not listed, per se, in the constitution, it should be a consti

and i now yield to representative sheila jackson lee, from the great city of houston. ms. jackson lee: allow me to thank both of my very good friends, the gentleman from new york and the gentleman from from nevada for really answering the call of the american people. the first amendment guarantees the freedom of speech. but i think the most important part of speech is information. thank you for the opportunity to share with our colleagues and share with america the pending crisis. if i might just quote from an article in "the houston chronicle" by a writer in the early part of february, that said, like a hurricane churning across the gulf of mexico, the looming federal sequestration threatens everything in its path if the deep federal budget cuts actually take place, and he was talking about back in february, they will be damaged somewhere, perhaps a lot of somewheres. so today we are standing on the floor of the house embracing some of the historic comments as relate to the african-american community and other american communities about the value of education. how many of

and i yield the balance of my time to sheila jackson lee. >> the chairwoman is recognized for 15 seconds. >> mr. calabrese, a simple question. what is the opportunity for racial profiling and how dangerous is that with the utilization of drones? >> we certainly see racial profiling in use, it is logical to believe it would be applied here. >> the gentlewoman's time is expired. the gentleman from texas. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate you being here. i am curious, the line of questioning, to give an example, there is that friend in my town who said his incredible new camera with incredible new lens sky word and took pictures of a shuttle going over and later saw on the news that it had broken up and got that to the paper and it was the most -- it was a photograph that has been on more front pages of publications than any other. on the other hand if he took that same camera and pointed it in someone's window for a long distance than you would get an issue so obviously technology makes a difference and it seems we do get into some intent issues but i am curious, mr. calabrese, you

but what gets my goat is senator levin and representative sheila jackson lee, and numerous other ones conservative groups while supporting groups like acorn, and even gave them government funding with our tax dollars, which would be no different than giving tax dollars to a tea party group, which i would object to. >> stephanie: but acorn actually did social welfare. that was not the largest part of what they did, the voter registration. >> caller: yes, but none of these groups -- if you are involved in politicking, you should not get anything -- >> stephanie: but largely what acorn did was other stuff -- >> this goes back to the wording of it. it used to say exclusively social welfare. now it says primarily, which is a slippery slope. >> stephanie: exactly. all right. so there's that. the other thing i heard [ inaudible ] going off on is sheldon whitehouse talking about climate change on the day of the tornados. but he is politicizing a tragedy -- and it was a speech criticizing republicans who revoke climate change. it's just -- i -- that's the thing -- you have got to -- yeah. >> i

sheila jackson lee, thank you for joining thus evening. we've talked about the affordable care act and how we should turn our attention to jobs for america. and i'm sure you have some thoughts on those subjects and others and please join us. ms. jackson lee: i want to thank my good friend from california r really framing the discussion tonight around i think the only thing that gives us the kind of positive agenda that puts americans back to work. we know as the economy collapsed, 12 million were out of work, but we also know -- excuse me -- that we have steadily made an increase. but it's not where any of us would like to be. and i couldn't help but, as i listened to the gentleman so eloquently and so effectively, ask the simple question as to why are we again putting on the floor of the house a repeal of the affordable care act? something that has not only been resoundingly embraced by many of our leaders, by the uninsured in our nation who are looking forward to the opportunity to be insured, but in the last election i think it was very

sheila jackson lee. >> thank you. mr. calabrese, just a simple question.the opportunity for racial profiling in how is that? >> resurfacing racial profiling use of video cameras. >> pajama woman's time is expired. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i do appreciate you being here. i'd like to follow a period i am curious the line of questioning she had. you know, is a doctor friend who said it new camera's incredible new lens skyward and to pictures of the shuttle going over the meters saw the news that broken up and got to the paper. didn't sell it, just put it out and it was a photograph is that more front pages of publications than any other. on the other hand, if you took the same camera and pointed it in has been a formula is, you would get an issue. said technology makes a difference in the stands we do get into some intense issues. i'm curious, mr. calabrese, there's a lot of area. i'm curious if congress went about setting what we believed and i think there's a lot of room for agreement on both sides. mr. richmond questions and i think we agree on a great

hudson, and ranking member richmond, as well as sheila jackson lee, along with my colleague, mrs. brooks , from indiana have also been incredible champions and supporters. last but not least, i would like to take a moment to recognize senior professional staff, brian, who has been invaluable in providing his assistance in guiding this bill through the process. mr. speaker, this is a commonsense measure that allies with the intelligence driven, risk based approach to security that t.s.a. is striving for. it addresses the clearly identified problem and provides a solution that will serve and honor the sacrifices of our nation's selfless heroes and great leaders. i ask my colleagues to support this bill and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the the gentlewoman from hawaii yields back the balance of her time. the gentlewoman from indiana. mrs. brooks : mr. speaker, i -- on behalf of myself as well as congressman mccaul, the chair of the homeland security committee, we would like to commend congresswoman gabbard for -- of hawaii not only for her service and mo

sheila jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from texas is recognized for two minutes. i thank the e: managers of this legislation. i think it should be made very clear since we'll have a general debate that i hope to engage in, that the underlying premise of this bill, h.r. 1406, is two simple points. and 140 undermines this point. the fair labor standards act only incentive provides the incentive for employers to adhere to the 40-hour workweek by paying time and a half. 1406 removes that fundamental requirement and allows employers to pay nothing for overtime work at the time the work is performed. i, too, am sensitive to those who want to join with their families and clearly that opportunity is there. but if you allow this bill to go forward, you take the choice out of the hands of the employee and if you are looking at a boilermaker, those in manufacturing, and a boilermaker can have close to 210 overtime hours, making a certain amount per hour, literally if you force them to take comp
