March 29--US Senate--Washington, DC--The senate hearing room was standing room only. Every seat was filled. The senators were in their seats waiting for the last senator to arrive. As she came out of door, the audience in unison rose to their feet and gave her a standing ovation. In the many years of attending congressional hearing, rarely does a senator get that type of reception. As
Senator Elizabeth Warren approached her chair, she took out her iPhone to photograph the audience.
