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.
I am in total agreement. It serves no useful function, being advisory to the President only.
Duties
The Commission's duties are:
To investigate complaints alleging that citizens are being deprived of their right to vote by reason of their race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or by reason of fraudulent practices.
To study and collect information relating to discrimination or a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or in the administration of justice.
To appraise Federal laws and policies with respect to discrimination or denial of equal protection of the laws because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or in the administration of justice.
To serve as a national clearinghouse for information in respect to discrimination or denial of equal protection of the laws because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin.
To submit reports, findings, and recommendations to the President and Congress.
To issue public service announcements to discourage discrimination or denial of equal protection of the laws.
Powers
In furtherance of its fact-finding duties, the Commission may hold hearings and issue subpoenas (within the State in which the hearing is being held and within a 100-mile radius of the site) for the production of documents and the attendance of witnesses at such hearings. It maintains State advisory committees, and consults with representatives of Federal, State, and local governments, and private organizations. Since it lacks enforcement powers that would enable it to apply specific remedies in individual cases, it refers the many complaints it receives to the appropriate Federal, State, or local government agency or private organization for action.
