Elena Kagan has been confirmed as Obama's second pick for Justice on the Supreme Court, making her the first Jewish woman on the nation's highest court.
The remarkable thing I think about all this, and one of the reasons I decided to put this post up about Mrs. Kagan, is that there have only been four women Supreme Court Justices (Ruth, Sandra, Sonia, and now Elena), and Barack Obama has nominated two of them.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is also Jewish, which makes her the first Jewish justice.... but either way it is really neat that the part of the population that makes up 51% of the country now has a foot hold in the high court....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction, mom. I can say I really didn't enough research on this...my bad.
