Monica Goodling was an aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. She resigned (and accepted congressional immunity) over her role in the federal prosecutor firings a couple years ago). Now a recent Department of Justice report says that she very deliberately used highly partisan criteria when interviewing people for non-partisan jobs in the department. That means these highly-partisan people are seen as career jobs and not the kind that end when a new president takes office. I was worried that Goodling had damaged the DoJ for a long time to come. A friend assures me that isn't the case. If the (hopefully) Obama appointees don't like what the partisan flunkies are doing the managers can make life so miserable for the flunkies they will soon leave. Whew! Alas, this is the same as the good people who left the DoJ because they couldn't stand working in such a highly partisan and corrupt place.
