I note that the Judge, UNANIMOUSLY overuled, was clinton appointee gladys kessler.

Another embarrasment to the dems, this time threefold:

mary francis berry - an overwhelming idiot
judge kessler - a liberal activist judge, who is again thwarted in her goals
Dems in general - their continued policy of the advancement of their agenda by court action is also thwarted.

I believe at one point Ms. Berry quipped "I'm glad a decision was rendered by the judicial system and not the White HOuse."

Even though she didn't offer any judicial review to her decision.

The average person of normal morals would be embarrassed, the Democrats won't be. That is one of the infuriating things about dealing with them. They can do the most hypocritical, unethical, obviously, illegal and devious things, and do them with a straight face.

This is still posted on the Civil Rights Commission website:

2002 NEWS RELEASES, PRESS ADVISORIES AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS LANDMARK LEGAL RULING PRESERVES INDEPENDENCE OF U.S. COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS

Commissioner Victoria Wilson retains disputed seat

(Washington, D.C.) Today U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler affirmed the Commission's position that every person seated on the Commission is entitled to serve a full six year term. This ruling ended the attempt by the Bush White House to cut short the term of President Clinton's appointee, Commissioner Victoria Wilson. In granting the Commission a voice as an intervenor in the case, the Court recognized the institution's special role as an independent agency. The Court's ruling is a historic victory. While assuring that Commissioner Victoria Wilson will remain in her seat to serve out her full term, the Court has also preserved the independence and integrity of the Commission. 02/04/02

The foregoing left wing propaganda is "Hosted by the U.S. Government Printing Office." Our tax dollars at work.

Looks like they need to update the ol' website. Anyone who wants to contact the administrator of the Civil Rights Commission website to get them to update it to include yesterday's wonderful opinion can e-mail the webmaster at wwwadmin@usccr.gov.

Her ruling wasn't even an internally consistant delusion. It was just plain dopey. To uphold her position, they'd a had to rewrite it on different grounds.

Does anyone know the Dem-GOP makeup of the commission now...I seem to recall that being one of the reasons the Dems were fighting so hard on this.

Do we know when their next meeting is? I would love to be on a ping list if you manage to find an article about how the new changes in membership are coming along.
