FOX NEWS REPORTS PENDING SHOWDOWN BETWEEN WHITE HOUSE AND MARY FRANCES BERRY
Fox News

Brit Hume reports that Mary Frances Berry, chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, is refusing to acknowledge the Bush White House's latest appointment to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
Ms. Berry sent a letter to the White House Counsel, Al Gonzales, saying that if they do intend to send the nominee to the meeting tomorrow, they best send along the U.S. Marshalls to seat him, as she will not allow it.
Fox reports that the term of one of the Democrats has expired and President Bush is exercising his right to appoint a member of his choice. The Panel on Hume's show said that this has NEVER been done before; that when someone is appointed to fill a term that hasn't been expired, when the term expires, the person leaves the committe. They also report that the woman who is being removed from the commmittee plans to show up tomorrow with a civil rights attorney and claim that she should get a full six year term, not just complete somebody else's.
Ms. Berry contends that the person leaving the committee was appointed for six years, not just to fulfill the term of a member who either died or left the commission (I can't remember which!)

Hume is repeated at midnight EST, so it can be seen again. I believe it was the first segment of the panel discussion. Bill Sammons presented the story.
To: Howlin
Bush better NOT back down on this one!He won't, it would set a ridiculous precedent. And Berry is really, really bad.

Someone was appointed to the committee, by Clinton, to fill out someone's term. Bush has appointed a replacement since the term is up.
However, the chair is saying she won't recognize the new appointee, saying that the person should get a full term and not just the remainder of the term.
To: holman
But a Justice Department task force provided the investigators and they could find absolutely NO evidence after several months on the ground. A State investigation that reported to the governor also could find nothing to substantiate the claims made by the blacks who were put up to it by Daily, er, mistaken maybe. There was not one shread of evidence, NOT A SINGLE INSTANCE, that showed any of what the democrats claimed happened in FL occurred. In fact, all the people that testified before Berry's Stalin-like Show Trial ADMITTED that they were allowed to vote.
To: Howlin
Seems to me this would be like any Senator or congressman. If they are appointed to fill a vacant seat, they finish that term and then have to get elected on their own right. So. . . since instead of elections it is by appointment, this terrorist needs to step down and if she wants the job she can put her name in the hat with all the others. Good luck you cheating bitch.
To: KC_Conspirator
"The US Marshalls that show up tommorrow better not be there to seat someone, but to remove some radicals that are totally out of control." Use the tazer!
