No she did not! She made declarations that these companies are too big to have around and that she will break them apart. It is not for the executive branch to make such decisions. There are antitrust laws and if they were applicable, one of the competitors would have already brought down a lawsuit. Warren committed to an action without due process. It was reckless. A more acceptable move would have been for her to say something along the lines of, "Big corporations and can stifle competition and I believe technology companies have escaped scrutiny. When I come to power I will hold them accountable to the law..." But she didn't put it that way, did she? Instead she committed to breaking them apart offhand. Now tell me why that is not the making of an executive who ignores due process and sees herself above the law?
