She has no facts on her side, only a very weak interpretation of law. And, her silence over the years on the length of the appointment in question leads me to conclude that she tacitly agreed with the Clinton Administration's interpretation. She picked poor ground on which to empty her magazine.

My guess is that MFB is behind Wilson's refusal to relinquish her seat. Wilson would have left quietly if not for Berry who needs Wilson to stay to maintain her dictatorial power.

This is obviously going to court and I think a fair judge will rule for W (there's always a gamble with political issues though).

I just hope it's all settled soon and not dragged out. I assume the Bush admin wants it settled before the next monthly meeting.

Her silence would not affect the law.
