Elizabeth Warren II: She’s Baaaaaack as a U.S. Senator

Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard University law professor and self-styled “cop on the beat” who protects consumers from Wall Street, left Washington last year after failing to gain enough Senate support to be confirmed as director of the new consumer financial protection agency she championed.

Now, as if in a sequel, Warren will return to the U.S. capital having been remade into a senator herself just as Congress prepares its first revisions to the landmark Dodd-Frank Act enacted in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
