A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
Five years before the Federalist Society was created to promote conservatism in law and academia, Pat Robertson established Regent University in 1978 to "train men and women for the challenge of representing Christ in their professions." Nearly 30 years later, an alumna of Regent's no-so-esteemed law school made headlines by taking the Fifth over her role in the U.S. Attorney scandal.
Monica Goodling's name barely scratched the surface until she became the most prominent federal official to invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying before Congress since the Iran-contra hearings in 1986. Now Goodling stands out as a conservative, loyal Bushie with dark secrets to hide.
Goodling, 33, graduated from Messiah College, a small evangelical school that does not have co-ed dorms or allow alcohol on campus. She started law school at the respected American University in D.C. only to quickly transfer to Regent University, which is ranked in the bottom tier of law schools by U.S. News and World Report.
What did Regent have that American didn't? The goal of transforming students into
"Christian leaders who will change the world for Christ." Appropriately, the university boasts 150 alumni within the Bush Administration.http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/analysis/197
