Not too long ago both Rand and Ron Paul were pushing a copyright maximalist agenda. Today the chickens have come home to roost.

Here is a transcript of Rand Paul's announcement.

    Martin O'Malley [washingtonpost.com] seems to be as close to Warren as we are going to get. The GOP has already got their knives out for him, [washingtontimes.com] so that's a good sign.
