When people of conscience start pointing out that the biggest racists and obstructionists are minority libs with a cause or axe to grind, then and only then will people like Berry not be tolerated!

...a dingleBERRY?...

Pretty uppity isn't she. Maybe we will see her beaten soon.

This article answers many of the questions I've had about appointments and terms of these commissioners. However, I'm still left with one:

Did Reagan and/or Geo. H.W. Bush (re-)appoint Berry, or did Congress? We're told Clinton appointed her chairman even though he had "reservations" about her. If so, why chairman?! Sure, I can imagine Clinton playing politics and the race card even though he might have "reservations" about someone (if HE has reservations, that someone must be a real gem!). But, chairman?! I'm still left wondering who, besides Clinton, was responsible for her nearly 20-year reign on the commission.

Beware-Berry has a good case. This bashing of her can backfire big time. The Bush advisors may have set Bush up on this one.

Sounds like this woman has a history of behavior similar to Hillary's. She needs to be knocked off her perch.

What an incredible report.

From the article: I was with President Reagan in the Oval Office when he signed the new law, but he did so with strong reservations. The Justice Department had issued a legal opinion questioning whether the new commission structure was Constitutional. Article II, section two clearly gives the president exclusive right, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint ambassadors, judges and "all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for."

The Constitution limits Congress' role to vest the appointment of "inferior officers" by law in the president alone, the courts or the heads of departments -- but not to assign such powers to itself.

Ignoring such Constitutional niceties, the Democrats in Congress proceeded to appoint four commissioners, including Berry, for six-year terms. And she's been reappointed every time her commission expired since then.

I know this is extreme wishful thinking on my part but when a judge decides the current case I'm hoping the ruling goes so far as to point out the unconstitutionality of the Congressional appointments. The next appointment to make is the Senate's and its the pubbies turn but Daschle might pull rank and make the appointment. He would be replacing a republican appointee.

. But Berry refused to go -- until I changed the locks on the door.

It appears that will have to be done again to get the vile one to leave. How can she continue to get away with this?
No suprise the democrats chose to ignore the constitution and rewrite the rules for appointment.
