Serial Plagiarist Rand Paul Accused of Stealing the Lawsuit He Filed Against the NSA

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) put on a big show about suing the NSA. This is all part of his freedom boy image (freedom for some, but for minorities, women, etc — forget it). But as usual, whenever Rand Paul is involved, trouble isn’t too far behind.

Dana Milbank revealed in the Washington Post tonight that the suit Paul filed was allegedly stolen. Yes, the actual language in the lawsuit is said to have been written by someone else, and that person is not very happy.

Paul had been working with former Reagan administration lawyer Bruce Fein to draft a class action lawsuit against the NSA (also known as raising money for his own coffers). But Milbank reports that when Paul filed the suit Wednesday morning, “Fein’s name had been replaced with that of Ken Cuccinelli, the failed Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia who until last month had been the state’s attorney general.”

Milbank continued:

Fein, who has not been paid in full for his legal work by Paul’s political action committee, was furious that he had been omitted from the filing he wrote. “I am aghast and shocked by Ken Cuccinelli’s behavior and his absolute knowledge that this entire complaint was the work product, intellectual property and legal genius of Bruce Fein,” Mattie Fein, his ex-wife and spokeswoman, told me Wednesday. “Ken Cuccinelli stole the suit,” she said, adding that Paul, who “already has one plagiarism issue, now has a lawyer who just takes another lawyer’s work product.”

5. He went to a "reputal" college but it wasn't in Nigeria

His degree is from Duke, which is about as "reputal" a college as you'll find.

7. Are you saying Duke sells their degrees?

Do you have anything to back that up?

[former9thward]

10. OK, an anonymous poster on the internet says Duke is selling degrees.

And you have nothing to back it up. Cool.

[former9thward]

12. You are not anonymous?

So "Z-RO" is your real name? Cool.

14. There's a difference between licensure and board certification

A medical license comes from each state - and you must have one to practice medicine.

Board certification is kind of a club membership. If you take a (very hard!) test and pass it, you can join this club. Then you have to do continuing ed and regular recertification to stay in the club. For some reason Rand doesn't like the big eye doctor club, and a bunch of other eye doctors who felt the same way got together and made their own club.

Rand MAY be a savant - very good at the things he cares about (fixing eyes, in his case) and totally worthless at anything else.

8. Bruce Fein is a "legal genius"?

I doubt that. That said this is sort of silly. Lawyers take material from other lawsuits all of the time. It is not considered "plagiarism" in the legal community.
