The New York Times continues to support Elizabeth Warren in her nomination for the director’s seat of the agency that she came up with in the first place. Click here to read the full editorial piece.

President Obama should nominate Elizabeth Warren to head the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, and not only because of her credentials.
