NEIL ARMSTRONG ON MARS: Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has displayed her idiocy for quite a while. “The Constitution is 400 years old.” “Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working.” On and on. But now it’s serious. BuzzFeed reports that:

[A] woman, identified by a pseudonym, claimed in a lawsuit that she was raped by a former employee of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. She says Jackson Lee fired her as she was preparing to pursue legal claims over the alleged assault.

Being an idiot isn’t unlawful. But retaliatory firing of a whistleblower — let alone of an alleged rape victim — certainly is.
