Listing a race on the Texas Bar application really confers zero advantage. Makes her look stupid in the long run, but no advantage gained there.

Agree, don't see the advantage there. But one could reasonably infer that if she did it apparently so freely there, it's far more likely than not that she used it in other places where it did confer advantage. Maybe she really did believe it and it was an honest mistake. I don't really care, I just hope it ruins her presidential ambitions.

Yeah, if she is using it on a bar application, she probably was using it on job and school applications.

Perhaps we should judge *those* actions when they come to light. As opposed to actions that have no impact.

Look, I am no Warren fan. But to use this as an 'it *indicates* that Warren *might have* it *elsewhere*' really doesnt cut the mustard.

Seriously, one could state about me that my brains, looks, and personality are *great* evidence that no sane good-looking woman would ever marry me --- but that really may not be the case. 03-wink

But the left hasn’t rested using the “mights” and “mays” and “coulds” to accuse Trump of all manner of transgressions. And we do have evidence that she did in fact use it elsewhere.

As long as her political career goes no further, I could not care less.

Whacko liberal democrats are like vampires. Drive a damned stake through their heart or they'll just keep coming back. They need to push this until she gives up. Not only does that knock her out of the Presidential race, but it may knock another whacko out of the Senate.

Warren just officially declared she's running for president...worst kept secret ever...

If she wins it would give a whole new meaning to "Hail to the Chief"

Such a poser.

I'd still like to see a Joe Biden - Doug Jones ticket but I doubt that'll ever happen. I like them both and Jones could appeal to FL dems IMHO.

I'll wager there's more of her Indian heritage faux pas that will be unearthed. She should just do herself, her family, and the DEMS a favor to save the embarrassment and bow out now. She has zero...ZERO...chance of winning the DEM nomination.

Yep. If she used American Indian on her Bar Application it is highly likely she used it elsewhere and she used it to get an advantage. Even back in the 70s and 80s, it was well known that checking minority status on an application offered employment opportunities and advancement doors.

I would tend to believe you are correct. The good news if she doesn't get the nomination is that she won't be the nominee. The bad news is that someone else will.

Biden felt like forced busing and forced housing wasn't the best way to handle integration...that doesn't mean he's a racist.

Which means that if someone else does not support forced busing and forced housing... that doesn't mean that he/she is a racist either, right?

Why limit that to forced busing or forced housing? Why not affirmative action in general?

Listing a race on the Texas Bar application really confers zero advantage. Makes her look stupid in the long run, but no advantage gained there.

whether this particular phase of the fraud conferred advantage in reality does not change the fact that the overall enterprise was concocted with the intention of taking illegitimate advantage of the (also illegitimate) racial spoils system that people like her created for themselves.

it just makes her dumb.
