On the Lam and Taking the Fifth

A little background about Monica Goodling, the Justice official who is hiding out (on indefinite leave of absence) and refusing to testify, is in the Washington Post.

Goodling majored in communications at Messiah College, a Christian school in Grantham, Pa., that does not have co-ed dorms or allow alcohol on campus.

[...]

Goodling enrolled in law school at American University but transferred to Regent, founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson in Virginia Beach. [...] The "curriculum at Regent is different from other law schools. There is an attempt by professors to integrate biblical principles into areas of the law," said Dugan Kelley, who worked with Goodling on Regent's moot court.

You know, like "Thou shalt only lie when thy politics are at stake", and "Thou shalt hew the way for thy Lord", and "Thou shalt not tolerate whining".

Okay, that wasn't fair. Perhaps Ms. Goodling just didn't absorb what the school taught.

"She is very motivated by her faith," [former department co-worker, Susan Richmond] Johnson added. "She doesn't wear her faith on her sleeve, but she lives a very faithful life."

Oh, no question.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
