I agree -- she should be arrested for trespassing, and the charges should be fully prosecuted.

I seem to remember Mary Frances Berry's name and extremely shadowed history mentioned prominently in "Shakedown" as an old friend of both Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton.

To say she's as bent as bobwire and as crooked as a dog's hind leg would be complete understatements.

Call the Capital Park Cops and give this bought and paid for Clinton political "Plantationist" the Bum's Rush out of the building.

Then shut the entire building down as the Commission is un-chartered and de-funded.

Jack.

Typical LiberalNazi: a loathesome power-mad tyrant with total disrespect of the law.

You cannot let people dictate that they will not obey the law

This one's a special case. A couple years ago Berry had to be served with repeated court rulings to allow a new Republican commission member to take his seat.

She has been there for 25 years. What's the big deal about one more month! Not worth the bad publicity of her being taken out in handcuffs ...

Since the Commission will always be a vehicle for attacks on Republicans and a bully pulpit for the racial hucksters of the Left, it is in our interest that it be as big a circus as possible. Ms. Berry is helping us out in that regard...

She should have been thrown out then, just like she should be thrown out now!

That would involve political courage.

While it becomes increasingly difficult to defend the commission's usefulness, it could function as the nation's conscience if

If WHAT?

If the nation was an individual, and could have a conscience?

The nation cannot by definition have such a thing, we all have individual consciences, and mine is fine, thanks.

I don't need Mary Frances Berry-or even Peter Kirsanow-to sub for me.

To be pragmatic, it's easier than anyone here has suggested.

All federal buildings in DC now have armed guards at the main entrances who check IDs and run the screening machines.

Whoever is her superior needs simply to inform the guards that Berry is no longer a federal employee, and that she's to be denied admittance to the building.

If she tries to break in, call the Capitol Police and have her arrested for trespassing.

It's that simple.

"a serious, rigorous commission could create breathing space for creative civil rights dialogue unbeholden to the orthodoxies of either the left or the right."

C'mon. We don't need a Federal "conscience of the nation" and we don't need a "civil rights dialogue." (I mean, what's the con position in this "dialogue": that we should trample civil rights?) What we need is for everyone to get the best education for his or her capabilities and everything will come out fine.

In one way, this risible situation may be all for the best. In other words, the worse, the better. Mary Frances may so discredit the agency that it can be abolished.

I'm not saying there was never a need for such an agency, only that bureaucracies never go away when their purpose does, so this disaster may be a blessing in disguise.

That's good. Now I've got one for you.

Why does this commission still exist?

Since her term is no longer in effect, change locks on her door, pack her stuff and leave it outside, and when she shows up and tries to enter warn her that she no longer works there if she does not leave the premises arrest her for trespassing.
