Civil Rights Commission Information
Organization
The United States Commission on Civil Rights is composed of eight Commissioners: four appointed by the President and four by Congress. Not more than four members shall at any one time be of the same political party.
The President also designates the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson from among the Commission's members with the concurrence of a majority of the Commission's members.
The Commissioners serve 6-year terms. No Senate confirmation is required. The President may remove a member of the Commission only for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.
Two points here:
1. There are already four DemocRATs on the commission, excluding Berry. She calls herself an "Independent" - the lying bitch. There is only one acknowledged Republican on the commission - Abigail Thernstrom.
2. If she persists, she is surely guilty of neglect of duty AND malfeasance and the President should dump her.
Berry's support of Wilson has a personal dimension. Although she's been on the commission since the 1980s, Berry's current term began when she succeeded Connie Horner, whom the first President Bush had picked for the commission in the final hours of his presidency. Horner's term expired on December 5, 1998 — but President Clinton didn't get around to putting Berry in that slot until January 26, 1999. The White House clerk's office, staffed by career bureaucrats, insists that Berry's term ends in December 2004. Berry, however, says it concludes on January 26, 2005 — just a few days after the end of President George W. Bush's term.
No way.
Berry thinks the person filling in for the dead person should get a full six year term and is fighting it. Everyone else believes the person replacing the dead person should have only stayed on until the dead person's term was up, which was November.
*Snort*
Say, Pokey, who is the publisher of the Clinton books?
Now Berry and this other woman are arguing that she should have gotten to serve herself for a complete term, not only to fill out the remainder of her predecessors term.
Another example of liberals wanting to change the rules after the game has been played.
The whole thing is horses___!
They should just disband the whole damned Civil Rights Commission joke. It's nothing but a "quota congress" anyway.
This is the same "Commission" that found (with no corroborating evidence or testimony) that the Bush brothers conspired to steal the Florida election and deliberately sought to disenfranchise minority voters.
They found plenty of "witnesses who testified that they had problems at their polling place but not one person, who was legally entitled to vote, testified that they ultimately were kept from voting.
The majority Democrats, led by that fraud Berry, refused even to allow the minority Republican members to include their dissenting opinions in the final report.
This woman is telling the President of the United States to take a hike tomorrow .......and expects the White House to go along with her demands....
Bush is in the process of dismembering the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.......and she really thinks he will cave to her .....
Forgive me while I fall on the Floor in fits of laughter....
Cheney will eat her lunch!!!!
