What I am afraid of, and what remains to be seen, is if she has been given this position so that the Centrist/corporatist/Wall Streeters can more easily explain to us, through Warren, how they are not going to actually be doing anything liberal at all. And then having her dissenting vote or whatever be mostly ceremonial. "See? We considered the Left Wing's (how sad is that) concerns, but tough noogies" sort of thing. Hoping for the best, of course.
