The Gonzales Watch: Aide to Invoke Fifth Amendment

Gonzales Aide to Invoke Fifth Amendment - New York Times: WASHINGTON (AP) -- Monica Goodling, a senior Justice Department official involved in the firings of federal prosecutors, will refuse to answer questions at upcoming Senate hearings, citing Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination, her lawyer said Monday.

Good to learn that some senior officials at Justice have heard of the Constitution, if only selected clauses of the Fifth Amendment. First evidence of familiarity with that document we've seen from this gang in some time.

Who knows, before long, they may be showing some interest in habeas corpus as well.
