Goodling's Hatred For Heathen Democrats


Ms. Goodling is a product of the Christian Right's plan to flood the justice system with fundies.

They have already taken over the U.S. Air Force, reportedly, turning it into the Air Farce, no doubt.

I've always been a live and let live kind of person, but these past years, that has been changing. Let me just say, that I will not bow down to these people and their twisted theology, which they, apparently, want to codify as U.S. law.

They want war? They will flat get it.

Justice officials detail Goodling’s partisan witchhunt.
The New York Times reports:

Two years ago, Robin C. Ashton, a seasoned criminal prosecutor at the Department of Justice, learned from her boss that a promised promotion was no longer hers.

“You have a Monica problem,” Ms. Ashton was told, according to several Justice Department officials. Referring to Monica M. Goodling, a 31-year-old, relatively inexperienced lawyer who had only recently arrived in the office, the boss added, “She believes you’re a Democrat and doesn’t feel you can be trusted.” […]

Ms. Goodling would soon be quizzing applicants for civil service jobs at Justice Department headquarters with questions that several United States attorneys said were inappropriate, like who was their favorite president and Supreme Court justice. One department official said an applicant was even asked, “Have you ever cheated on your wife?”

Ms. Goodling also moved to block the hiring of prosecutors with résumés that suggested they might be Democrats, even though they were seeking posts that were supposed to be nonpartisan, two department officials said.
