Seldom has a president had the opportunity to place on the nation’s highest court a person so representative of the struggles, the aspirations, and the attainments of Americans.
Sen. Warren is the product of a blue-collar Midwestern family so beset by financial travails resulting from her father’s heart attack that the family car was repossessed. She has been a public school teacher, a college dean, a Harvard law professor, an advisor to the FDIC, Congress, and the President on economic matters, and a United States senator. Time Magazine has three times named her one of the 100 most influential people in the World, and in 2010 the National Law Journal named her one of the 40 most influential attorneys of the decade. A renowned legal scholar, she is one of the most cited in the country.
