Kagan possible high court pick
02.05.2009
A Jewish woman is being discussed as a possible replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
Elena Kagan, who was confirmed as solicitor general in March but has not yet argued a case at the Supreme Court, is considered a candidate for the slot that will open up on the high court after the expected retirement of David Souter this June. Kagan is a former dean of the Harvard Law School and was a lawyer and policy adviser in the Clinton adminstration.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the first Jewish woman to be named to the Supreme Court, by President Bill Clinton in 1993.
