Monica Goodling at Regent University in 1999, one of many graduates that now work in the Bush administration. Regent was founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson in Virginia Beach. There are about 150 Regent graduates now in the Bush administration. Bush Loyalist Rose Quickly at Justice
To her detractors, Goodling was an enforcer of political loyalty who was not squeamish about firings, of interns or of senior officials.
"She forced many very talented, career people out of main Justice so she could replace them with junior people that were either loyal to the administration or would score her some points," said a former career Justice official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of reprisal.
Goodling enrolled in law school at American University but transferred to Regent, founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson in Virginia Beach.
Goodling and her lawyer declined to comment for this article, and classmates said they did not recall the reasons for her transfer. But "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.
After earning a joint degree in law and public policy in 1999, she worked as a researcher for the Republican National Committee on the Bush campaign, then moved to the Justice Department's press office. She spent six months with the U.S. attorney's office in the Eastern District of Virginia. A friend and former department co-worker, Susan Richmond Johnson, said Goodling was also an amateur photographer and world-class baker of desserts, but had little time for a social life because she was "the first to arrive at the Justice Department in the morning and the last to leave at night."
My first word about Monicunt Goodling and the Biblical Law Department of the Bush Administration, is GODDAMN THAT!

I am no believer in those myths, OR superstitions, but I do believe we as Americans have a duty to protect the institutions of our government. We here these whacky bat's on the (R)ight denigrate the United States Government as the boogieman, bad guy, evil, you name it, AND in the next breath they praise the Founding fathers of of our Nation as Heroic figures, and yet they are the inventors of our system of Government.

The enemy of the United States are these (R)ight wing Hater Radio hosts, Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, and ALL who support that ideology.

The sooner Murdoch and Ailes suffer crippling strokes that kill them the better off the United States will be. We are going through a period in our history of unbelievable ignorance from those on the the political (R)ight, and it has thrown our balance out of whack, they need to drop the bullshit and comeback to business of working together to solve the problems of our nations... Fuckin' morons!
