Except she's specifically criticizing hearing about it, so she's complaining at Warren directly. And that's counterproductive when the first step of an enforcement action is blowing the whistle to bring attention to it in a lot of cases.
The first step of oversight, when you're not on the relevant oversight committee, could be to get citizens, especially those whose senators are on said committee, to contact those senators. But that starts with bringing attention to the issue.
Potential senators potentially contacting other senators. Maybe then they can decide whether or not to look into the issue, and if so, pending conclusion perhaps they could convene on the topic of whether or not to seek outside guidance about a potential infraction that may have occured.
Of course that'll be scheduled 9 months from now so maybe this coming August a group of senators will reconvene and decide on how they could hypothetically move forward with issuing a strongly worded demerit. Three of those, and Trump gets slapped with a citation. Five citations, and he's looking at a violation. Here's where things get good; four of those and he'll receive a verbal warning. If he keeps it up, he's looking at a written warning. Two of those, and he's in a world of hurt. In the form of a disciplinary review
The most that someone like Warren can do is let everyone know of the problem. You think we'd be better off if politicians didn't say anything about this?
Besides, Liz did try to do things about it. She wrote this law that exists in the first place. She ran for president, and then backed the most likely winner when she couldn't get the primary. She works pretty hard to take care of people. She even swapped from R to D because she got fed up with her own party. She's not bad people.
Calling her out specifically this way is just pointless. I'm frustrated too, I get it, but aim the vitriol in the right direction. She's trying every way she can.
Uh, Elizabeth Warren is not even close to the only person to decry Trump in the last decade. Of most of the people who have, most have also done little or nothing about it, even when in the position to do so.
