Another article, same topic, here.May I suggest a friendly tap on the shoulder with a Taser?
Get a court order and have the U.S. Marshals serve it and, if necessary, forcibly remove her. If she resists, throw her in the clink for contempt of court.
Sheesh.
Who cares... If she won't hold a meeting until the end of January, then no business will get done (I've got no problem with that). This is a good excuse for our President to eliminate a department.
Can't someone just disolve the commission and then if needed (I stress the point) recreate the commission with new members?
Just ignore her and go about business. Since her term has expired, she has no legal authority and anything she does is void. Put the new director in a different office and let Berry hold her breath until january 21 - who cares.
This isn't difficult.
The President should nominate her successor and direct the appropriate agencies to cancel her salary, etc., as of the effective dates.
She would have to sue to reinstate, allowing the a proper legal ruling.
Hold the meeting anyway. She cant cancel it- she is not in charge. If she shows up call security. what is the problem here?
Geez republicans,... grow a pair already willya?
Ms Berry has created a new 'civil right' for herself. I think it is unbelieveably hilarious. There ought to be some good cartoons come out of this.
People like Berry are worth an additional 1,500,000 Republican votes in '06. Go, Mary!
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.
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...
It's like deja vu all over again.
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.
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.
End it, don't mend it.
Mary Berry, quite contrary,
How did your office grow?
With help from Bill's and Jackson's shills
But now it's time for you to go.
