Kagan: Supremely Intelligent, Eminently Qualified
I had the honor and privilege of attending a special announcement ceremony at the White House on Monday, and I couldn’t be more pleased with President Obama’s decision to nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the next United States Supreme Court justice. I have known her for many decades and have deep respect for her commitment to equal justice.
A Proud Moment
I am thrilled that the Senate has confirmed the first Latina — and the third woman — to serve on the Supreme Court.
