"I applaud the Senate for its swift confirmation of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court and commend President Obama for selecting such a strong nominee.  I have full faith that in her new role as a Supreme Court Justice, she will bring her incredible legal intellect to bear on behalf of all those who seek justice in our legal system.  Throughout her career, she has insisted that all parties be given a fair hearing under the law, and she is known for her ability to bring people of diverse beliefs together to that end.  In so doing, she has earned praise from Democrats and Republicans alike for her brilliance and her fair-minded approach to the law.  

"I offer Elena Kagan my congratulations on her confirmation and I look forward to what I believe will be her long and productive tenure on the Supreme Court."
