Elizabeth Warren on the USSC short list.
Advertisements [?]
Harvard Law school dean Martha Minow has been on the school's faculty since 1981. And Elizabeth Warren heads the Congressional Oversight Panel, which reviews government efforts to boost the shaky financial and private investment sector. Neither woman has judicial experience.

Warren is also a Harvard law professor. She has been a regular on the talk-show circuit, including CNN, to discuss the economy's effect on families. The Oklahoma native has also co-authored two books with her daughter.

This was probably talked about earlier, but I was not available. LOL! So it didn't really happen!


I have mixed feelings. One the plus side, I think she is very wise and easily confirmed. But I would hate to see her influence watered down by Thomas et al.

I'm not a Johnny-come-lately. Like many DUers, I read Prof. Warren's books many years ago, long before Michael Moore made her well-known. She really "gets it" and would be a great addition to the court.
