By CONGRESSDAILY STAFF
The Senate voted 61-31 Thursday to confirm Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan as solicitor general. She becomes the first woman to represent the United States before the Supreme Court.
Though Republican senators had raised questions about Kagan's social views and her responsiveness to questions posed at her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, several senators noted that the vote came despite limited floor debate on Kagan.
Kagan, 48, has never argued a Supreme Court case, but she clerked for the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
Other Justice Department nominees awaiting Senate confirmation are David Kris, the administration's choice for assistant attorney general for national security, and Dawn Johnsen for assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel. The Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to confirm Johnsen over unanimous GOP objections.
Johnsen will likely face opposition on the floor, said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a Judiciary Committee member.

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

As Kagan was the dean of Law School, she can easily represent the nation before the Supreme Court. It is a good thing done by the Senate.

In the long run society can only prosper if we educate people on the dangers of gambling both online and in a casino, and not from banning an industry that employs thousands of people in countries all over the world. No one gains anything from just telling people they can not do something that they are going to do anyway.
