ROXBURY -- Two days after being officially sworn in as Massachusetts' junior U.S. senator, Democrat Elizabeth Warren took the oath of office for a second time, before hundreds of supporters and campaign volunteers in Boston.
The second oath was administered Saturday at Roxbury Community College by Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan.
Warren was officially sworn in Thursday with other newly-elected senators by Vice President Joe Biden in Washington, but the senator decided to hold a reenactment in Massachusetts to thank supporters who could not make the trip.

"I'm the one taking the oath of office today, but this day is not mine alone," said Warren, who defeated incumbent Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican, in November. "For everyone who worked one way or another on this campaign, this day is for you."
Campaign volunteer Michael Wilcox, 66, drove from Berkshire County, at the other end of the state, to see Warren's mock swearing-in.
