Creating fairness for all is sufficiently vague as to justify almost anything. Politicians, or those with power in general, should not be evaluated positively based on their well meaning platitudes, even if they are sincerely held. Creating fairness for all, if implemented poorly, can and has led to mass murder, genocide, etc. I'm not suggesting Warren would lead to that, or implying it, simply saying that wanting to 'do more good' isn't a sufficient defense.
