Today’s document dump produces this jewel from Monica Goodling. It’s part of a table of various statistics about the U.S. Attorneys. Notice the last column – FedSoc – which refers to membership in the Federalist Society. This is a really big deal. The Federalist Society is a Conservative Group operating on the level of the American Enterprise Institute and equally destructive. They are behind the drive to restructure the Supreme Court. They are the source of the Bush war-cry "runaway judges" "legislating from the bench." To have Federalist Society membership as a criteria for selecting U.S. Attorneys is a blatant politicalization of the judicial branch. It’s like make membership in the Ku Klux Klan a prerequisite for City Council Membership.

I’m no longer surprised that Monica Goodling is hiding behind the 5th Amendment. I don’t know what they teach at Pat Robertson’s Regent Law School, but it doesn’t have much to do with Legal Ethics or even basic morality ["the ends justify the means" isn’t exactly a biblical principle]…

    “I don’t know what they teach at Pat Robertson’s Regent Law School,…”

    Probably “God’s law supercedes man’s law.”
