Your Friday Harvard Report

Sep 8

Plagiarism.

They are graduating people not smart enough to write for themselves so they copy others work, in very public places. Once a cheater and liar, always a.........Look who it is writing about civil rights

Story:

One of the Harvard Journal on Legislation's former editors revealed Monday that he was "shocked by the plagiarism" that he discovered in a 2000 article submitted by then-Sen. Joe Biden.

Roger Severino, now vice president of domestic policy at The Heritage Foundation, weighed in Monday in a Twitter thread on the president's "tradition of embellishing," as analyzed by The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of the Heritage Foundation.)

"My first assignment as a junior editor at the Harvard Journal on Legislation (1999-2000) was to cite check an article submitted by one Sen. Joseph R. Biden," Severinoexplained. His tweet thread links to the now-president's article, titled "The Civil Rights Remedy of the Violence Against Women Act: A Defense."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Signal.

His tweet thread links to the now-president's article, titled "The Civil Rights Remedy of the Violence Against Women Act: A Defense."

"Cite-checking involves formatting case citations under highly prescribed rules and searching Westlaw to make sure the cases haven't been overruled or superseded," Severino explained. "Because I was interested in the article's topic (civil rights), I read a bunch of the cited cases all the way through."

Severino said that at this point, he noticed that "a certain turn of phrase" in one of the opinions he was reading sounded "oddly familiar."

"So, I turned back to Biden's article, and there it was," he said. "He had lifted language straight out of a [Supreme Court] opinion, changed a couple words, and called them his own. There were no quote marks and no footnote or anything else attributing the court as the source."
