Have these freaks forgotten who their boss is?? Unseat every last one of them. They do not deserve to be on any American commission ever again.

Election report fraud
The majority of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission - that is, the six Democrats (there are two Republican appointees) - has shamed itself on many levels.Somehow, a draft report on Florida's conduct of the 2000 election was leaked to three liberal newspapers, the New York Times, The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times a day before the non-Democrat members of the commission had been sent copies. By law, all commissioners are entitled to 30 days to review reports and make ....

IMHO her previous divisive statements and her current actions should certainly be considered grounds for her removal from the Commission or, at the least, removal as chairperson.

Good get,my friend. I remembered the judicial uprising in California and that Rose Bird and two allies were dumped off the Supreme Court there. I did not recall that this gentleman was one of those dumped.

It might be worthwhile for the media to go over the backgrounds of all the Commisioners. The one from Knopf Publishing, for instante, who is at the center of this dispute == was she connected with the $12 million Clinton (him) book? Who is she? What is she? Doesn't sound like an "indepondent" to me.

OK Mr. President 'W', time to start slam dunking the democracts.

Yes I was at the meeting to stand with my fellow Conservative Brother and it was a complete disgrace. This has nothing to do with the commission but with Mary Berry she want to hold on to power and made it clear that they are not answerable to the federal government and it should be the other way around. All one would have to do is put a white hood and white golves on her and you would have never known the differents between her and a klan member.

[Howlin]

During the meeting Berry voted to extend the certification of the election, allowing the handcounts of the four counties cherry picked by the Gore team to be included.

WHAT? SHE certified the 2000 election? Do you mean HER conclusions about it, or what?

[Howlin]

How can a committee of the Unitd States Congress NOT be answerable to the U.S. government? How does she explain that?

[tdadams]

Bush needs to be very careful in allowing Ms. Berry to run the show, even for a little while, as some here suggest she should. Possession is 9/10th of the law.

By establishing the precedent that Ms. Wilson is duly seated, while Mr. Kirsanow sits passively in the audience, not even being recognized, Bush runs the risk of entrenching Ms. Wilson in this position and then having to fight an uphill battle justifying why she should be removed from her seat and have it given to Mr. Kirsanow.

Bush needs to deal with this woman swiftly, strongly, and say to hell with the Democrat and race-baiter squawking.

Thanks so much. Let's hope my scathing note is not returned.

[Howlin]

. Not more than four members shall at any one time be of the same political party.

Looks like Bill Clinton was running this committee against the law, eh?

The President also designates the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson from among the Commission's members with the concurrence of a majority of the Commission's members.

That is what Ms. Berry, the little troll, is afraid of.

[Trueblackman]

She put forth the augrement that it was the job of the commission to oversee The White House DOJ and even Congress on matters of civil rights.

[Woodkirk]

I believe you are right. I think she has stepped in some doodoo and doesn't realize that this could lead to her early retirement.

[The Wizard]

with any luck she'll get promoted and become an American.....which she is not now.

She is also a law breaker, and should be brought up on charges.....

If I were GWB, I would have sent the Marshals

I knew a guy on the Federal Sentencing Commission who was making $130k a year, ten years ago, for attending commission meetings a couple of days a month. As I recall, Commission members made as much as federal judges. I suspect the Civil Rights Commission gets the same. If so, it is an incredibly lucrative part-time job, and a major plum appointment.

[Howlin]

As Dr. Berry tells it, President Reagan informed her that "I was serving at his pleasure, and I wasn't giving him any pleasure."

ROLF.........I love that man!

[Let's Roll]

Yeah, rationing - it's the patriotic thing to do especially where non-essential services are concerned. ; )

This is very well timed, I think. With 90% approval rating and Goldberg's "Bias" getting a bunch of attention and the media elite clearly on the defensive because of it, there will be a much more critical eye on the media's coverage of this minor flare up.

Why is it only FOX seems interested in this story? Think about the liberal story line here, a Right Wing, fraudulently appointed president is trying to destroy the commission. This is classic liberal crap. I bet this story would get 24/7 coverage if President Bush had appointed a white guy.

[Howlin]

Victoria Wilson, the member "in question," i.e., won't resign, was appointed by Bill Clinton.

She works for Knopf. Guess who's publishing Clinton's book?

[StarFan]

Would you know when the article written? First two paragraphs are astonishing, but so it this sentence in the third paragraph

The GAO also reported that the commission filed few of the reports to Congress and other departments of the government that they were required to by law . Seems to me if there are financial discrepancies and they are not following the letter of the law, it should have been disbanded on the spot.

Mary Berry saw that she disrepected both Peter and Jennifer as most of you know Jennifer was appointed last month and sworn in. But I did notice something funny she did not have a engraved nameplate like the other members she was given a folded 8 X 11 with her name printed on it!!! Mary Berry has made no secret in her hatred of President Bush!!!
