I have been curious about that. She wears it with the appropriate authority. I am glad to see what it actually is and means, spectacular. Just goes to show how deeply sincere Speaker Pelosi is with regard to protecting our nation and her acknowledgement of her power to do what needs to be done.

I might have to save my pennies and get one of those just because.

Besides, it has to me become a symbol of a powerful, wise woman whom I admire (Pelosi).

The more I read about this jewelry artist (Ann Hand), the more I'm convinced this is where Nancy Pelosi got the brooch/pin: https://annhand.com/pages/about-us

and the authority vested therein by our constitution.

Madam Speaker Pelosi is a great caretaker of that authority and wields it well.
