This is HUGE. HUGE. Bush better NOT back down on this one!

[blackbart1]

This is so rich and will be fun to watch. It just gives GW another chance to show his leadership and that he is a manly man and can't be intimidated into letting this girly lib have her way.

[Commie Basher]

If Bush does back down, I'll expect Freepers to apologize to the Libertarians -- at least Harry Browne stands by what HE says!

Yeah, I voted for Dubya, -- but I held my nose!

Time to show this wacked out witch who's in charge..and it ain't her!

Here's a recent holiday photo of Ms. Berry.

Is this a paid appointment? If so, what is the salary? Might it be more important to this woman to have a salary than it is to actually serve this great country? What is the salary if the position is paid?

Gee, the Demorats sure don't like giving up power, do they! LOL

[expose]

i am going to watch this one

[pawdoggie]

This is more Democrat agitprop designed to re-establish Bush's "racist" image in minority circles, in advance of next year's congressional elections. If Bush sends in law enforcement, the dominant media camera crews will be lying in ambush to record the event. Bush shouldn't back down, but he should use the courts, rather than a heavy hand, to handle this matter.

Dear Mr. President:

Do our country a favor -
Fire her miserable @ss.

Mary Frances Berry
Chairwoman

She's feisty, aggressive, and hated by conservatives, but Mary Frances Berry, President Clinton's appointed chairwoman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, is not in danger of being ousted by President Bush -- at least not this year. Currently, the commission, an independent agency that investigates allegations of illegal discrimination, is comprised of six Democratic appointees and two Republican appointees. The new President is not likely to have the chairman of his choice ratified by the commission until after he replaces the two Democrats whose terms expire at the end of the year. In the meantime, the 63-year-old Berry is continuing to oversee controversial investigations that are likely to push Bush's buttons. After a six-month inquiry, the commission released a report lambasting the way his brother, Gov. Jeb Bush, handled voting problems in Florida during the November 2000 election. The commission is embarking on a study of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decisions involving civil rights. At the same time, Berry is also a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania. A Nashville native, Berry earned her bachelor's and master's degrees at Howard University, a doctorate in history from the University of Michigan, and a law degree from the University of Michigan. Berry has held academic posts at the University of Maryland (College Park) and the University of Colorado (Boulder), and she served as assistant secretary for education in what was then the Health, Education and Welfare Department. Even if she has to step down as commission chairwoman, Berry can remain on the commission as a commissioner until 2004.

Time to quash this liberal, PARTISAN, commie!

[lavaroise]

MAybe she's doing because she knows she can. Liberals know they do not have to have any repent.

[csvset]

...they best send along the U.S. Marshalls to seat him, as she will not allow it.

Perhaps it will be featured on a future episode of "COPS".

[Texbob]

Bush is a patsy, he will give this wild Liberal what she wants, he might even allow her to be president if she bitched loud enough.

[malakhi]

I have a better idea than canning Berry. How about abolishing the Commission entirely?

[DeweyCA]

People like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the mainstream media will love to portray Bush as a racist if he removes this er...lady. Bush will have to use all of his political skills in this, even though he is totally in the right, legally.

[MissAmericanPie]

Toasting my egg nog to the tought of a U.S. Marshall nabbing that scum by the back of the neck and hurling her out the front door.
