My research and search skills are not the best, but during the campaign for the SAG presidency she was fought tooth and nail because of her conservatism. Someone with the required skills should pull up the old threads about it.
I would be very pleased to hear that she is.
Yep, real nasty infighting. She won, but wasn't allowed to take her seat. They bottled the whole thing up in courts for years. Kind of like that hag booted from the EROC who refused to comply with the rules. BTW, is she still on the payroll? Is that balance of term appointment lady still insane, refusing to let the new appointee take seat?
She was described as both a moderate and a republican in the thread titles.
