Inside Biden and Warren’s Yearslong Feud


Politico has this great article Inside Biden and Warren’s Yearslong Feud.

“For a decade, Orrin Hatch, Joe Biden, Jim Sensenbrenner, and dozens of others in Congress decried the state of bankruptcy laws that permitted people to take advantage of financial institutions,” Warren wrote in a 2008 post on Credit Slips, a bankruptcy law blog, after Tim Russert asked Clinton and Edwards about their votes for the bill during a Democratic presidential debate. “With a recession bearing down, the language of bankruptcy has shifted from ‘abusers’ who ‘take advantage of lenders’ to language of concern over the growing stress on hard-working families.” While voting for the bill had won senators the gratitude of lobbyists who write campaign checks, “that door swings both ways,” Warren went on. “Those who wanted to snuzzle with the lobbyists leave themselves vulnerable to counterattacks.”

Funny Elizabeth Warren didn’t mention this in 2016 when she tried to sell us on what a great President that Hillary Clinton would make. Maybe she had forgotten what she had written 8 years earlier, but I still remembered it.

Every time this Politico article seems to be softening the case against Biden, it comes back with a rebuttal that makes Biden look worse.
