This is a disturbing story about Hillary Clinton and our system of governance. During the Clinton administration, a bill was wounding through Congress that would make it harder for individuals to declare bankruptcy. Hillary Clinton, as First Lady, summoned consumer finance expert Elizabeth Warren, who convinced Hillary that this bill was bad news. Hillary convinced her husband to reverse course and veto the bill.

Fast forward to Hillary Clinton getting elected Senator from New York, and she has to vote on a similar bill. She, having been a beneficiary of campaign contributions from the consumer finance industry, votes for it--the same bill she knew was bad for debtors and fought against as First Lady.

I put together this jetpack that quotes from two interviews with Elizabeth Warren about Hilary Clinton's actions regarding this bill.

You're right. It is sickening how someone with no credentials or electorial mandate can influence the President without the consent of the governed. I guess we now need first ladies to be confirmed by the Senate.
