The person whose term has expired was filling in the spot for someone who had DIED. The panel also said that the reason that MS. Berry was causing such a stink is because now the board has 5 rats and 3 Republicans. If Bush gets his appointment then it will be 4 to 4 and Berry can't run roughshod over the other rats and have her way.
Well, you just explained the real reason this despicable woman is throwing one of her tantrums! If this will balance the commission, she will lose her power to run it like her own personal political machine, which is exactly what it is now.
Under this abominable creature, this is not a civil rights commission, it is a Socialist Democrat's blackmail Lobby, forcing it's will on politicians and businesses across the nation.
Clearly, Berry is certifiable, and should be removed from the commission. I would personally love to see that happen, and can imagine the political hot potato that would be. She won't go quietly into the night by any means.
