Thank you for an excellent fact check of the third senatorial debate between Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren (Page A11, Oct. 11). Brown’s proud military service in Afghanistan was clarified as only a two-week National Guard duty stay without combat. To listen to him you might have assumed he served in battle with the 26th Brigade.
This is the kind of distortion Brown makes when he gives his reasons for voting against equal pay for women, against declining health care for women, and against the appointment of Elena Kagan, former dean of Harvard Law School, as being worthy of confirmation to the Supreme Court.

do you have any idea how many 'Equal Pay Laws" we already have on the books, how about trying to enforce the laws we already have, stop with the feel good legislation. Brown is right about Kagan, she has had NO court room experience. Declining health care for women, you mean protecting religious organizations. Elizabeth Warren will vote for every spending bill that comes her way, lock step with democrats, that only works if your a liberal, most of us moderates want this country to get it's fiscal house in order.

Migh . A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law., Ya think Kagan, as a professor then Dean of Harvard Law School, knew something about the law when appointed as a Supreme ? Scott was just camoflaging his real reason for voting no.
When military experience is brought up, Warren tells us that her brothers served. This is what politicians do. They distort.

jedi, She, not her brother is running for the Senate. What her brothers did has no bearing on her ability to be a Senator.
