It went to committee July 2013 where it will die a quiet death.

6% chance it will even make it out of committee and a 1% chance of passing.

She sits on the banking committee where this bill has been introduced.
Her supporters would be better to follow the actions and results of what she says to see if she really has teeth or is all bark.

Yes, the Bill is all but dead; which is why what happened before will surely happen again, only it will be much, much worse.

You folks are pathetic. Seriously.

So she claimed she was part indian...BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS.

Did Elizabeth Warren check the Native American box when she ‘applied’ to Harvard and Penn? - The Washington Post

And...this is a pretty common thing believe it or not. Its all he said she said stuff about family histories, sometimes it is true, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes its family feuds from long ago where marrying a part Indian was a bad thing, so the other side accused them of it. Again..this is a very common mistake made. Its even very possible she has some Cherokee blood, but not enough to claim it. Also another common mistake. She has contributed to a indian cook book however...I suppose that could be viewed as a benefit...is that it?

And this is the thing you guys use against her? Really? This is a truly pathetic attack. Her marking it on her forms has had no apparent benefit to her in any way apparently. But this is your controversy? A mistake made by thousands and thousands of people.

And now she is abusing her position by saying that anonymously paid for attacks on political figures by corporations shouldnt be allowed? Really? This is what gets your goat? That she wants the underlying cause of an attack ad to be apparent?

Truly sad when this is so important, when there are so many other more important things.

Disgusting. Elizabeth Warren is a disgrace to the United States Senate. He entire career is based on lies and academic fraud. The people of Massachusetts need to dump her the first chance they get.
1. move to Massachusetts

2. campaign against her and expose her misdeeds

3. we'll follow developments from here

that's a strange allegation.

anyway, she is probably right about who is funding those attacks. republicans - particularly of the pro-big business variety - really hate elizabeth warren. they want to cut social security, and she is calling them out.

Yes. Lying about your background or qualifications to advance your standing in academic circles.
