New Chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission
Posted in Race by Peter W. Schramm
Mary Frances Berry "the outspoken chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, was replaced yesterday by President Bush as her term expired, after 24 years on the panel.
Gerald Reynolds, former assistant secretary in the Department of Education's civil rights office, was appointed chairman of the eight-member panel. Ashley Taylor, former deputy attorney general of Virginia, also was appointed to the commission, to replace panel Vice Chairman Cruz Reynoso.
Mr. Reynolds was appointed chairman, and Commissioner Abigail Thernstrom, a Republican appointee but political independent, was appointed vice chairman."

Any thoughts on the appointments?
Is Bush putting the pedal to the metal with these clowns, or is he punting as he does so often?
