Oh My: Elizabeth Warren is Not Listed as a Native American on the Senate Website

As they have noted over at Buzzfeed, the Senate has recently updated its listing of Ethnic Diversity in the Senate.  For instance here is what they say about African American Senators:

African Americans:

Hiram R. Revels (R-Mississippi), 1870-71

Blanche K. Bruce (R-Mississippi), 1875-1881

Edward W. Brooke (R-Massachusetts), 1967-1979

Carol Moseley-Braun (D-Illinois), 1993-1999

Barack Obama (D-Illinois), 2005-2008

Roland Burris (D-Illinois), 2009-2010

Tim Scott (R-South Carolina), 2013-

Of course regular readers will recognize Mr. Revels from a piece I wrote a while back.  Sharp eyed readers will notice that Republicans have given us every single black southern senator, and the majority of black senators overall, proving how racist they are.  /sarcasm  And you will notice that since Tim Scott is listed there, it means it is up-to-date, including the new crop of elected Congresscritters.

So that can’t be why Elizabeth Warren is not listed among those with Native American heritage.  Here’s the complete list:

Native American Indian:

Charles Curtis (R-Kansas), 1907-13; 1915-29 (Kaw)

Robert Owen (D-Oklahoma), 1907-1925 (Cherokee)

Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colorado), 1993-2005 (Northern Cheyenne)

As Buzzfeed points out, Owen was 1/16 Cherokee, but is listed here as a Native American.  Warren has claimed she is 1/32 Native American.

So has no one informed the Senate Historian about her alleged Native American heritage?  Or has someone informed them and the Historian’s office rejected the claims?  And if they did, is it because they cannot verify any Native American blood?  Or have they decided that she just isn’t Native American enough?

Of course all of this racial bean-counting is creepy as heck anyway.  But if we are going to play that game, I would be curious about the rules.  And it is interesting that as of today, the Senate Historian is calling Warren’s claims that she was Native American false.

My wife and I have lost our jobs due to the harassment of convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin, including an attempt to get us killed and to frame me for a crime carrying a sentence of up to ten years.  I know that claim sounds fantastic, but if you read starting here, you will see absolute proof of these claims using documentary and video evidence.  If you would like to help in the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin accountable, please hit the Blogger’s Defense Team button on the right.  And thank you.

Disclaimer:

I have accused some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct.  In some cases, the conduct is even criminal.  In all cases, the only justice I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice system.  I do not want to see vigilante violence against any person or any threat of such violence.  This kind of conduct is not only morally wrong, but it is counter-productive.

In the particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him.  Do not call him.  Do not write him a letter.  Do not write him an email.  Do not text-message him.  Do not engage in any kind of directed communication.  I say this in part because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want that to happen to him.

And for that matter, don’t go on his property.  Don’t sneak around and try to photograph him.  Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision.  Your behavior could quickly cross the line into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).

And do not contact his organizations, either.  And most of all, leave his family alone.

The only exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any stories you might report.  And even then if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request.  That this is a key element in making out a harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you refuse.

And let me say something else.  In my heart of hearts, I don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above.  But if any of you have, stop it, and if you haven’t don’t start.
