BOSTON (AP) -- Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren is joining a chorus of elected officials criticizing a federal court ruling ordering Massachusetts prison officials to provide sex-reassignment surgery to a transgender inmate serving a life sentence for murder.

During an interview Friday on WTKK-FM, Warren said she didn't think the ruling was "a good use of taxpayer dollars."
