One big media distorting attack on Warren is idea she was a conservative until late in life. Aside evidence voted for Carter in 1980, her first published law review was defense of interracial busing, reflecting progressive values early in her career.

Radical in Warren's 1975 article is recognizes "NORTHERN urban segregation" driven by suburbanization leading to "central city schools...inferior in facilities, student-teacher ratios and other educational advantages"- already worried about STRUCTURES of inequality.
More evidence in the 1975 article of Warren looking at structural sources of inequality in condemning Supreme Court for failing to recognize ways that state tax policy and spending encouraged differential resources for central city schools.
Worth reading article on Warren's partisan political journey which emphasizes her liberal inclinations from early on despite official party registrations (which people forget had far less ideological meaning in era of Dixiecrats & liberal Republicans)

Key to Warren's attack on the anti-busing decision is way "neutral" policies where hard to prove bad intent still structurally lead to inequality. Clue to why Warren attracted to bankruptcy law which, as she wrote later, structures inequality even with supposedly neutral rules.
So got a bunch of new followers from this thread (along with my Labour election thread earlier this month) so curious if I'll get the three additional followers to put me over 2000 before the New Year hits :)
