When this happens in business, you hire extra security to take away her building pass, then escort her out, change all the locks on the office doors and the access codes to the business computer systems.

Read the Townhall link in post 53.

This woman was locked out before in 1983.

President Reagan fired her and Linda Chavez, who was on the Reagan staff had the locks on Berry's former office changed to keep her out.

Of course Berry sued.

The law concerning appointments by the Executive were changed by Congress....because of this creature.

Zero out her electronic card that admits her to government parking... Zero out her security badges that allow her to enter federal buildings... remove her from the access lists and if she tries to enter treat her appropriately

I like your ideas better than mine. Just so long as her office stuff gets thrown into storage where she has to pay the moving and storage bills.

Mary Frances Berry has been feeding at the Federal trough for far too long.

Unless this lady is that 800 pound gorrila that sits where it damn well pleases, I suggest the seat of the britches and shirt collar, hold, by the inhouse, rules enforcement official, with the realease on three count, for her exit.

Butts are meant to be broken for those who presume that rules are meant to be broken.

I expect she will be removed physically by US Marshals.

1) Is the US Commission on Human Rights really needed?

2) Why can't meetings through the end of January be cancelled?

3) MF Berry isn't worth any attention...it just feeds her ego.

In case you skipped wholesale through the article just to get a swipe in at Bush, it read that two new appointees have already been named. But such witicisms, devoid of factual accuracy, are still quite amusing to those with a Democrat-level IQ.

She qualifies for the most vile term I can think of.

From this morning's powerlineblog.com:

Free At Last, Free At Last

The appalling Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission and one of the worst public servants in American history, is finally on her way out. The Bush administration has appointed replacements for the awful Ms. Berry and vice chairman Cruz Reynoso, whose terms are finally ending:

President Bush on Monday moved to replace Mary Frances Berry, the outspoken chairwoman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission who has argued with every president since Jimmy Carter appointed her to the panel a quarter century ago.

But Berry balked at leaving now, arguing through a spokesman that she and vice chairman Cruz Reynoso, who also is being replaced, have terms that run until midnight Jan. 21, 2005. The White House maintained that their six-year terms expired Sunday and that Berry and Reynoso had been replaced.

This grasping effort to hang on to "power" for a few more days is typical. Ms. Berry has been an embarrassment for twenty-five years, as has the Civil Rights Commission. Only the magic phrase "civil rights" has prevented the Commission from being a laughingstock. That phrase, thankfully, is no longer enough. Mary Frances Berry, one of the most biased and partisan figures in American public life, RIP.

Oh, she is! From the Town Hall piece linked in Post #53:

Berry was first appointed to the commission in 1980, largely to get rid of her at the then Department of Health, Education and Welfare, where she served as an assistant secretary. Berry had embarrassed the Carter administration by returning from a trip to China extolling the Maoist education system there, including its use of ethnic quotas in higher education. So President Carter passed over Berry when he created the new Department of Education, shipping her off to the Civil Rights Commission instead. She's been getting even with presidents ever since.

How bad is she if she managed to embarass the Carter administration?

It exists because Congress deems it exist. Oh, you meant a GOOD reason? (crickets chirping....)
