I respectfully decline to answer

Good thing the entire Constitution wasn't shredded. Looks like at least one DOJ employee intends to make full use of the Bill of Rights.

Monica Goodling, a counsel to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales who helped coordinate the dismissals of eight U.S. attorneys, will invoke her constitutional right not to answer Senate questions about the firings, her lawyer said.

Goodling, one of four Justice Department officials the agency said could be interviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, will invoke her Fifth Amendment privilege not to answer the panel's questions, John M. Dowd, her lawyer, said in a statement. Dowd said the committee had requested her testimony under oath.

Insert your own ironic comment here. Here's mine: people who don't have anything to hide don't mind. Do they?

Personally I'm glad the Bill of Rights still exists, and I for one will not read anything into Goodling's use of her rights. Well, okay, I'm lying. I'm laughing my fool head off. These are the people who tried to do away with habeas corpus, and now one of them finds that she better use the fifth amendment. Is it Thursday yet?
