Reply #7: her term ended

[nicho]

there was a dispute about this acouple of years ago with another commission member. the member maintained that the 6-year commission started on the date she was appointed by Pres. Clinton. The Bush administration argued that the commission terms are set and that no matter when a person is appointed within that term, upon expiration of that term that persons service ends. A Fed. appeals court agreed with the administration.

this seems to be the same issue although the difference is only a month between when the term expires and when the anniversary of their actual appointment is. Frankly, its not clear why the commission is picking this fight when the Court has already apparently settled the issue
