: TalkLeftSenate Confirms Elena Kagan as Solicitor General
By Jeralyn
Elena Kagan, of Massachusetts has been confirmed by a vote of 61 to 31 as Solicitor General.
Kagan became the first woman dean of Harvard Law School in 2003. Prior to that, she was President Bill Clinton's Associate White House Counsel. Clinton nominated her for a Court of Appeals judgeship but Sen. Orrin Hatch killed it.
She's known for being a legal scholar, not a trial lawyer.
Before this appointment she had limited courtroom experience (she has never argued a case at trial) and has not argued before the Supreme Court of the United States.
