In a move that has already sparked a backlash among law enforcement groups, President Barack Obama on Thursday appointed Debo Adegbile, a former attorney for convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, to a six-year post on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The eight-member commission consists of four members appointed by the president and four appointed by Congress. Unfortunately, the six-year appointments are not subject to Senate confirmation.

Will Trump have immediate access to all hiring/re-shuffling done over the last 4 months? Isn’t it his prerogative to know?

Move the offices of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to Northern Alaska or Zimbabwe

Have Accts. Payable review and question every single item in people’s like these expense reports. Hold all of them up 90 days.

The entire commission could go bye-bye upon act of Congress, couldn’t it?

One does not just tempt fate. Lefties may gnash their teeth at what the answer to such a poisoning attempt will be.

It would be just like Donald Trump to propose subsuming its functions in something else.

And then hiring some rabid righty to head it.

Lefties would be cursing the legacy of Barack Obama even while Donald Trump calls him a “fine man.” Yeah, a fine man if you want the engineering of chaos and disorder....

He has a soft spot for cop-killers and those that defend them

Disband the commission.

Almost word for word, you beat me to it. Exactly what I was thinking as I read the article. It's a 4 and 4 group based on who does the appointments, which means it is intended to reach deadlock on a regular basis and get nothing done. Kind of like a show on MSNBC, but any spending on this group comes from tax dollars. What a waste of money.

Even worse, he wants to keep the society camped up into two or more mutually bitter camps. I don’t think he would have a soft spot for anything if it wasn’t to give America as we knew it a hard time.

BO has F’d his own legacy... but sore losers just don’t know when to quit.

Donald Trump will be like, well this was a nuisance but hey it’s an opportunity too. Let’s fix not just this but a lot more than this. Thanks, Barack, for bringing it to our attention!

And Barack will be like, gnash gnash gnash the teeth in Gnashville.

I believe its days are indeed numbered now. Who needs to waste money on a Kabuki theater?

Some say that Barky is setting up a ‘second government’ in that large house he is renting...that his regular home will be in California and Hawaii...

As some say he is setting up a ‘second government’ to ruin President Trump’s 4 years...and that George Soros and Hillary Clinton are working in it...

Just saying what some are saying...
