Fresh from Mary Frances Berry's temporary judicial victory to keep the membership packed with liberal plantation owners, the US Civil Rights Commission continues steadily down the road to irrelevance.

Reader and fellow weblogger Dan Hartung informs me that I've confused the Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights with the U.S. Commission On Civil Rights.

Not surprising--everyone who knows me know that I'm easily confused. Nonetheless, the point remains...

Uh, note that while the name may be similar, the Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights is not the same thing as the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The former is a non-profit lobbying organization; the latter is the Berry-headed body constituted by law.
