Its hard to read how the "moderates" would go. Sometimes the political cover offered by a vote against a funding authorization is a little more substantial than that available for a vote to abolish something that is perceived to be popular among "the disadvantaged". They can claim cover under the umbrella of "fiscal restraint" if they vote to defund something. The risks are fewer in pi$$ing off a few federal bureaucrats than those for arousing a sizable voting bloc that is easily whipped into a hysteria by the race baiters and poverty pimps. Not to mention the lamestream press, who'd crucify anyone voting to abolish this corrupt and politicized "commission".
But, whatever. The time comes when the 'Pubs will just have to stand up to the cowardly and despicable tactics of the 'Rats. They should throw this whole mess right back into the ugly, rotten face of Berry. If the chairperson of such a panel is willing to be so racially divisive and mean-spirited, its time for the 'Pubs to take to the barricades.
