As of April last year, Goodling was indeed a member of the Virginia bar and, to the best of my knowledge, that was the only bar she was a member of. I imagine she still is and note that the website you refer to specifically notes that only members who agree to have their names be public are accessible. Goodling undoubtedly opted out of this.

It doesn’t seem that Monica Goodling is a member of the Virginia State Bar. The VSB has a Member Directory search page and it lists no one under the last name Goodling.

She may have been admitted to the Bar and then dropped for some reason or another. Or she may in fact never have been admitted in the first place.

AlbertFall – Maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention, but haven’t seen your name lately. Boy, no kidding as to Rove, but also curiously lacking is the pointed spear at Gonzales. I have always felt that AGAG was weak, and that if he were separated from the herd and made the full on attack point, he would roll over. Unfortunately, there seems to be no motivation to go after anybody ultimately responsible with any gusto.

Not discussed:

At whose direction did Goodling impose the political litmus test?

Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?

Rove? Rove? Rove?

Yes, I know that she probably internalized Rove’s requirements and probably did not take a direct order. But still…..

I have no problem with Goodling losing her law license, but what about the bigger fish who authorized or instructed Goodling to take these outrageous actions? I want Mukasey to go after the higher-ups who allowed this practice and ordered it. This situation has a certain Rovian smell to it.

Ms Goodling is a member of the Virginia Bar.

Time for the Virginia Bar Association to proceed to have Ms Goodling show cause as to why she should not be disbarred.
