Outgoing Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II (R), who battled the White House over health-care reform, will continue to fight the Obama administration when he steps down at the end of this week.

Cuccinelli will assist U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) with a class-action suit against the National Security Agency over its surveillance of Americans’ phone records.

Cuccinelli first announced his involvement in the suit in a Facebook post over the weekend.

Join Rand Paul and I in asserting our right to privacy,” he wrote. Cuccinelli will serve as a legal adviser to Paul, a spokesman said, but not as the lead counsel in the lawsuit.


Well, the first thing I want to say is "Aaaaaarrrggghhhhh!" For high school, Cuccinelli went to Gonzaga. The tuition there runs about $25,000 to $30,000 now. Then he went to UVa. Even the Engineering School expects better than that. Finally, he went to GMU Law for his JD. A course in legal writing was surely required.

Is our children learning?
