The normally sedate Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions became the scene of a Fourth of July display when Sen. Elizabeth Warren led her fellow party members in demanding a second round of questioning of Betsy DeVos, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice as secretary of education.

The Massachusetts Democrat asked committee Chairman Sen. Lamar Alexander for a second day of hearings, and told him that if hearings were to be extended for an additional day, she would have “many, many more” questions to ask of DeVos.
The Tennessee Republican observed that precedent didn’t call for a second round of questioning. When President Obama’s two nominees for education secretary were being considered by the committee, there was only one round of questioning by committee members.
He added that although many Republican committee members weren’t happy with the single round of questioning, “out of deference to the president and the institution, we thought that it would be appropriate for us to defer to the president.”
He added that DeVos had already spent 50 percent more time under committee questioning than either of Obama’s picks.
Alexander’s answer clearly stuck in Warren’s craw.
Throughout Alexander’s patient explanation Warren’s posturing and fidgeting displayed discontent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee loved the turnabout, as did his followers.

DeVos has indicated throughout her life that she placed students above teacher unions when it comes to education. She is pro-school choice, anti-Common Core and anti-union, and that’s what really sticks in the craw of the Democrats
Warren is poised to take Most Evil Witch title from Hitlery, but only because Hitlery is melting.
Hey Warren.
Shut up and make me a buffalo meat sammich.
Good analysis
She is hideous
If I ever actually see her, I will do a little fake-Indian Pow-wow dance, holding my fingers up behind my head like a feather and going whoo whoo whoo with my other hand over my mouth.
Hiya hiya hiya hiya

Squaw make heap big wampum from white man.
It's the same kind of people who repeatedly elected Teddy.
No wonder the state has become known as A&&holechusetts.
She is a perfect representative for the feminista democrat progressives
Run Lizzie run
We have already seen how much America likes patronizing arrogant nasty shrill women
Warren really believes she’s the “new hillary” and is prepping for 2020. If so, she’d better get used to losing ... especially going up against President Trump’s administration.
Dead ringer for my daughter’s mother-in-law and just as liberal.
Made a fortune buying and flipping foreclosed homes
Before Warren was bought by the teacher’s union, she was a big proponent of school choice. She wrote articles pushing for the voucher system.
She even refused to shake hands with Devos.
You are right. Top Witch doesn’t come with Clinton Foundation criminal funding. Fake Indian. Fake Progressive. Fake Hillary. Going nowhere.
Warren v. DeVos. On the one hand you have an extremely unattractive, shrill, nasty squaw wannabe. On the other you have a classy, intelligent, attractive woman.
I think I would rather have Hilliarous as president than Fauxahontas.
“And cooking buffalo wings.”
Sen Warren is more familiar with buffalo chips.
Warren’s a power proggie. Truly unAmerican, unGodly, intolerant, hateful.
Democrats and cults share a lot too.
