12. You can spend many hours just scanning the Congressional Record

And then you would have to do an analyses the content of each bill not only for Warren's, but also for each of other nominees and candidates for the nomination in order to get understand of their relative positions on the liberal scale. I don't think you want to spend the time to do that.

In addition the analysis like the one above and the one to which I am referring are much more comprehensive than simply analyzing how people vote.

These analysis are performed by "looking at each nominee’s congressional voting record, fundraising and public statements (Adam Bonica’s ideological scores based on a candidate’s donors, joint DW-Nominate scores based on a candidate’s voting record in Congress, and On the Issues scores based on public statements)."
