I'm confused. Is the new Bush appointee filling a vacancy for someone whose term has expired, or someone who has left before his term's end?

We need someone who can tell us about the workings of the US Civil Rights Commission....

Chairman can you help...

The new Bush appointee will be appointed for a full six year term.

BTW, this guy brings the makeup of the panel to 4-4, as opposed to 5-4 Democrat it has been (as if you didn't know)

From what I overheard on Fox as I was freeping. Someone appointed during the clinton era died, someone was appointed to finish out that persons term. It expired in November. Bush is executing his right to appoint someone now.

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.

The person who's supposed to leave was appointed to serve out the term of another appointee who died. That term ended this month.

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.

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.
