Elizabeth Warren is a person who learned from her family about past generations. I also learned from my family about past generations. We both had connections to American Indians in Oklahoma.  Hers was Cherokee, mine was Choctaw.  She was born in Oklahoma, my brother was born in Oklahoma.  That is our connection, not her politics.

I, too, learned about my family from past generations. But those generations had done the geneological research and had the documents to back those stories up. Simple as that. If I was going to make a claim to this or that in my ancestry, I'd have the proof in hand, especially in politics.
As a student of Law, she should know it isn't what you think, nor even what you know, that stands up to scrutiny, it is what you can prove.

She was not just a student of law, she actually taught law. That makes it even more demanding she can prove what she claims.

And being well versed in the law made it easier for her to exploit others when the need arose.  Whoever it was who said she was just another lying, opportunistic slug upthread got it exactly right.  She is apparently the role model for Wendy Davis.

Since Wendy attended Harvard law school during the time Warren was a professor there, that is almost a certainty.

OK...blond moment (or gray in my case).

I watched the Fox news today, unusual, and they reported that at least one of these actresses that bought her kid into college faces up to 40 years. I hate to say this, but rich people have been doing this for years.

But Warren lies to get in, also done for years.

One faces prison...one runs for president.

Of course this is rhetorical....but I don't get it.

Well, one is a lawyer, the other has to pay them....
