I know in this context she means "backside" or "butt" or "arse" and I agree with Senator Warren on her statement that laws are written to protect the powerful. But then, aren't an awful lot of laws worldwide drafted to protect the powerful too?

I hope that come the end of 2015 Elizabeth Warren does decide to run. In a Primary campaign, I'd support her if it's Warren vs. Hillary Clinton. In the general, it's clear in my eyes that a "generic Democrat" would be more electable than most of the current crop of Repukelican Party candidates - though Jeb Bush and Scott Walker seem to have more mainstream credibility than the rest.
