Dina Titus won’t apparently be making a clean exit from Washington just yet; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid appointed her to serve on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

The eight-member commission monitors and investigates civil rights cases and reports to Congress and the administration. Its most well-known work came during the 2000 presidential election aftermath, when the commission investigated charges of racist voting practices affecting the election and recount.

The president appoints four members of the commission, and House and Senate leaders appoint the other four. Titus is Reid’s only appointment. The seat has been held by Arlen Melendez, Chairman of the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony.

Yet another government agency that needs abolished

I hope she’s better than Mary Berry...

One of her most infamous quotes: “Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.”

Dina Titus is a Dem. Lame Duck who will be out of a job come Jan. She represented Navada’s 3rd District and was Defeated by Repub. Joe Heck. Harry is just making sure she has a job.

Melendez is a dem. Basically a gender switch.
Obama appoints to GOP who leave this month. Of course they will be major RINO’s. Either that or someone who recently switched party affiliation.

Democrat politicians - You can’t get them out of DC without dynamite.

Quite a name sake there, Titus:

“The next day, during the feast at his house, Titus asks Saturninus whether a father should kill his daughter if she has been raped.[1] When the Emperor agrees, Titus then kills Lavinia and tells Saturninus what Tamora’s sons had done. When the Emperor asks for Chiron and Demetrius, Titus reveals that they were in the pie Tamora has just been enjoying, and then kills Tamora. Saturninus kills Titus just as Lucius arrives, and Lucius kills Saturninus to avenge his father’s death.”

Okay, you are right. But, BO can appoint two D’s to replace the R’s.

Currently:
R - 4
I - 1
D - 2

The Commission is an independent federal agency led by eight appointed commissioners; four appointed by the President and four by Congress. Not more than four members at any time shall be of the same political party. Commissioners serve 6-year terms. No Senate confirmation is required.

The President designates the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson from among the Commission’s members with the concurrence of a majority of the Commission’s members. The President may remove a member of the Commission only for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.

A reward for being the faithful lapdog that she was and will continue to be. I hate the quid pro quo of politics.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Crap.. you are right.

[Vaduz]

The commission investigated charges of racist voting practices affecting the election and recount.

Smells like a new way to swing votes your way.

There should be a 4 year ban on being appointed to a government agency or commission after losing a congress, senate or presidential run.

I had to take a class from her. She is evil. She is a Communist.

[Verginius Rufus]

I think the commission is supposed to be evenly balanced, 4 of each party. Under Clinton there was a 6-2 Democrat majority because two supposed “independents” were appointed to two of the Republican slots—one of them was Mary Berry.

99% of Obama administration appointees are communists. She will fit right in.

Typical If you watch closely, every single jackass that was voted out of office will end up still on the government teat in one form or another.
