(57,936 posts)I talked about her with a Hillary fan the other day. My Hillary-fan friend objects to Elizabeth Warren because she doesn't have money. I am hoping we can get a grassroots movement going. I'm serious.
Elizabeth Warren may not have a lot of money, but she has issues that appeal across party lines -- the trouble with the banks and with the fraud against consumers. I think she could have a chance. Having a lot of support from voters can get a politician enough money to run a good campaign. I'm willing to work for Elizabeth Warren.
One thing I especially like about Warren is that she thinks very clearly and understands the law very well since she taught it for years.
I know we heard about how Obama was a law professor. I think that, considering his claimed experience as a law professor, he has demonstrated a great lack of respect for our Constitution and aspects of the law -- especially with collecting the phone records of masses of people without any suspicion of wrongdoing by most of them. That a professor of constitutional law would do that baffles me. I realize that the Supreme Court may permit it, but it so obviously chills freedom of association that I can't fathom the professor of constitutional law who would actually do it. I think Elizabeth Warren would have better judgment.
