The betrothal of the Pennsylvania natives (first reported by the legal blog AboveTheLaw.com) proves that even a congressional subpoena can have a happy ending: The two dated just after college, then lost touch for a decade — until he saw her name last spring in the front-page stories about the controversial firings of several U.S. attorneys, and called to wish her well. He surprised her with a Valentine’s Day proposal at the same restaurant where they spent V-Day 12 years ago; no date set.

It’s a quintessential D.C. romance: congressional testimony leading to a love connection!

I’m speechless.

Meanwhile “All I wanted to do was serve this president” Monica Goodling, an Oral Roberts U grad like Michele Bachmann MN06 and Ted Haggard, Bush2′ 3rd wave coach, is still NOT in jail. In fact she is engaged to RedStateBlog co-founder. Gruesome.
White and pastey is not in. Don’t miss the wicked commentary here.

Jackass. With clowns like this it’s no wonder the papers are dying.

partOT: I wonder what are the human costs to families whose children become part of what the Electronic Privacy Information organization covers in its webpage about implementations of the Solomon amendment and ancillary laws, which force schools to contribute to that database, and was argued diffusely in Rumsfeld v FAIR 04-1152. That case involved some amici brief papers which addressed a too broad spectrum of issues some of which might be appropriate for the defense of a nonlesbian US Attorney office official. It may be possible that FAIR tried to accomplish too much, although the stakes were perceived as substantial, for many reasons. The GU link is a compendium of resources of the sort Scotus opts to hide from the public, all public papers filed in the case; and Scotus’ ABA repository of brief documents similarly gives important caselaw history like that the short shrift. Scotus has reprogrammed its site to reloop back to the ABA culdesac, but GU is complete.

despite all i’ve read about him here & elsewhere, i have been forcing myself to remain optimistic that he will do the job he was nominated for, as it is defined in our constitution.

after he took the oath – i surprised myself by tearing up.

may he truly rise to the occasion by correcting the DOJ’s past & by holding to a standard in the present, that will enable we as american’s to once again feel proud of “our lawyer” & our DOJ.

i will be watching closely mr attorney general.
