U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is banking on using the backlash from the Roe v. Wade reversal to rescue her from political irrelevance and reignite her White House hopes.
The Massachusetts Democrat has become a lead crusader against the Supreme Court since its ruling last week that there is no constitutional right to an abortion, using strident, angry rhetoric that has become her trademark.
The high court “burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had” with its ruling, Warren said in national interviews over the weekend.
“They just took the last of it and set a torch to it,” Warren said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Enough with the “burn” and “torch” references. Warren’s comments come amid tense protests and clashes between abortion rights advocates and opponents in states across the country.
Anti-abortion lawmakers have cheered the court’s ruling and some states have already taken action to ban abortion.
Warren has long advocated packing the Supreme Court with more justices to negate the conservative tilt of the court — even though that is never going to happen.
“I believe we need to get some confidence back in our court and that means we need more justices on the United States Supreme Court,” she said. “We’ve done it before, we need to do it again.”
Warren has been on the brink of political irrelevance since her failed 2020 presidential run, when she couldn’t even win her home state and was blasted by Joe Biden in the primaries.
Even in some Democratic circles, the 73-year-old Warren is largely viewed as a has-been. Other younger Democrats like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar have gotten most of the attention.
But she clearly hopes to be among the Democratic hopefuls in 2024 if the highly unpopular Biden decides not to run, and has been positioning herself on several issues to gain national traction.
The question now is whether her attacks on the Supreme Court and her attempts to galvanize the pro-choice movement will bring her back out of the woodwork or just give her more baggage.
Warren has no power to do anything to fight the court ruling and if Biden decides to take action — like making medication abortion more available or using federal lands for abortions — he’s certainly not going to give Elizabeth Warren any credit.
And as the battle over abortion rights moves to a state-by-state clash, Warren lacks any clout and certainly doesn’t have any standing in states that rejected her presidential campaign.
Massachusetts is one of the states where a woman’s right to an abortion is protected, so Warren doesn’t need to fight here, where she is known the best.
But it’s far from clear whether Massachusetts voters even want Warren to run again.

Go away Liz!!!!
AND stay away!
Actually, Liz—it points out what a nut case you are.
In 1970, Liz obtained a degree in speech pathology and audiology. Her speech has been inaudible and pathological ever since. She is so insistent on keeping Judicial Court precedence,,,,,like Packing the Supreme Court where 9 has been the precedent since 1868 when Grant returned it to 9 from 7 that was lowered to in order to try to impeach Andrew Johnson. This is one angry 73 year old witch with an attitude, who like many who when they turn from Sexagenarian to Septuagenarian their brains go from Sexy to Septic. She and Joe are vultures of the same fowl featherbrain. Joe still thinks its a Warren Court which ended in 1969, but with Pocahontas as Chief Justice, not Earl.
squaw speak with fork tongue can’t be trusted!
she is also a very evil person.
The country has more important issues to take care of than abortion which was not made illegal but returned to the states and the concensus of the people within the varous states to deciide. The Democrat Party has focused its attention of Roe V Wade for fifty years to keep a bad decision from being overturned ignoring nearly everything else during elections and appointment hearings that are now the very things endangering the country, energy, health, immigration, defense, etc. all in the interest of killing babies!
U have ALL of Ur Priorities Backwards. U sound just like Ur Parasites in the DemoRats Socialist/Communist Party.
Yes, there are other pressing issues at hand but Abortion was One of them. Because Ur DemoRats friends use this to push Ur Agenda. YES ! There is the Economy , Energy , Healthcare , Immigration , Defense , Homeland Security etc.
It’s because of Ur Pretending President that has Screwed up this Wonderful Country We The People lived in. Joe China needs to be Charged with TREASON , FRAUD , BRIBERY , THEFT and the list keeps Growing and Growing.
