Yet another video of Sen. Warren eloquently making her points from her perch at the end of the Banking Committee horseshoe. This time its at a confirmation hearing for Richard Cordray who is up for the position many felt should have been filled by Warren herself. I have to wonder how the GOP feels about not allowing her to pursue that only to have her become their colleague instead. Also, anyone else find it disconcerting how many empty chairs there were around that horseshoe for a confirmation hearing such as this?
Please share widely!
I’ve tried embedding a couple times. It doesn’t seem to take.
Would be if she and Sherrod Brown got together to overturn Glass-Steagall, I desperately want that to happen.
Reinstate Glass-Steagall and overturn Gramm-Leach-Bliley
It’s hard to tell how many people are viewing these videos because so many different people post them to You Tube, but even ones that are a couple weeks old have hundreds of thousands or more viewers.
I think that’s good news for the whole country. Voters get to see what courage looks like in a Senator and may come to expect more from theirs. They get to see a senator who cares about people (e.g. as opposed to corporations) and will speak truth to power. And it gives other senators — mostly chickens who don’t rock any boats — cover to speak out more and on more issues. If enough of them speak truth to power, the power itself will accrue to the truth.
EW is a dream come true after too long a nightmare.
OH Dems are talking about Cordray for Governor. If he can’t get confirmed, he should do it.
…fool us once shame on you, fool us twice shame on us, where us is the GOP.
