U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is unquestionably qualified to serve on the Supreme Court. Even more, she is uniquely positioned to revive the flagging spirits of the left, and help restore the country’s confidence in the tribunal, which has sunk to record lows as the court has moved openly and often cravenly to the right.
Before Warren’s election to the Senate in 2012, she was a Harvard Law School professor and a respected expert in bankruptcy and consumer protection law. She served on congressional panels dealing with bankruptcy reform and oversight of the bank-bailout Troubled Asset Relief Program. She also was instrumental in establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Warren is and has been for many years an outspoken defender of the vanishing American middle class.
