Yesterday Professor Charles Fried, the elegant, eridite former Solicitor General of the US and former Supreme Court Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice, sparred with eminent philosopher and law professor Cass Sunstein and Harvard economist Ed Glasser in a faculty forum over “the Nanny State.”
Probably should make sure to set the date on these Warren articles, because as I write this it says it was published today.
Though, it could be…this is Warren’s position now, and it was a big reason why she pushed the CFBP into existence and fought for regulations that forced the banking industry to write their documentation clearly and limit their ability to take advantage of consumers. Warren isn’t getting enough credit for changing the conversation that way, for really taking the screws to the banking industry and all its cheating ways…if she can get out from under the Medicare-for-all weight being thrust on her then she really should pivot to how she has fought for Americans and how CFPB shows what she intends to do as president.

The original post differs from this one at its conclusion, after she quotes Fried deprecating “mak[ing] a living helping people hurt themselves.” Instead of “Fried is a rock-ribbed conservative ,” the original post concludes with these words: " I’ve taught Fried’s Contract as Promise for years in my own contract law class, in part to inject a moral dimension into our discussions of breach and remedies. Now Fried–and Sunstein–on credit cards will be part of my class as well."
