Goodlingization Of The Justice Department Not A Good Thing
Category: The Latest Baddest
I won't even hire a plumber who informs me in our first conversation he is a born again Christian because I would prefer someone who touts credentials more specific to plumbing skills, but the Bush Administration is turning the Department of Justice over to the born again graduates of Regent University School of Law.
The process is called the Goodlingization of the government.
How a 'fourth tier' religious law school infiltrated the US Government
The hiring of 150 graduates of a poorly regarded faith-based law school has raised questions about the influence of faith on the American political process, says a New York trial lawyer Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach, Virginia, has roughly 500 students and is ranked at the rock bottom as a "fourth tier" law school in an authoritative survey published by U.S. News & World Report.[S]ince it took office, the Bush Administration has hired 150 Regent graduates and with most of these lawyers are employed by the Department of Justice.
The infiltration by mediocre graduates of a poorly rated faith-based law school into key positions in the Department of Justice is just plain scary.
Why the term Goodlingization?
One of its prominent graduates is Monica Goodling, a lawyer with scant prosecutorial experience, who resigned under fire last April after a five-year stint as a top aide to Alberto Gonzales, the US Attorney-General.Goodling....testified that she may have gone "too far" in the course of her official duties and inadvertently "crossed the line" by asking "political" questions of applicants for non-political jobs in the Department of Justice. It was at Goodling's insistence that one of the coveted "jobs" - United States Attorney for Arkansas - went to Timothy Griffin, a close political aide to Karl Rove in the White House.
