"Warren lied about being Native American to benefit from affirmative action."

Doesn't seem to be true: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/everyt...

In any event, I find it more troubling that Warren does not understand the purpose of a trial, which explains the shocked responses from the government officials.


I don't see anything about affirmative action in that article. In fact, other articles posted in this thread suggest that she didn't benefit from it at all. Regardless your premise is flawed. The fact that she declared she was Native American on some forms is not germane to the topic at hand. Regarding your critique, you're treading the line of of a fallacious argument. Also, have you considered that maybe we should take the banks to court because it's symbolic?
