WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Elena Kagan was sworn in Saturday as the fourth woman ever to become a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Her hand on a Bible, Kagan repeated the oath uttered by Chief Justice John Roberts: "I, Elena Kagan, do solemnly swear that I will administer without respect to persons and do equal right to the poor and to the rich and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States under the Constitution and laws of the United States, so help me God."
With that, Roberts shook her hand and said, "Welcome to the court."
Kagan, 50, becomes the third woman serving on the current court, joining Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, and the 112th person to serve on the court.

The Senate voted 63-37 Thursday to confirm Kagan, who becomes the only member of the high court with no experience as a judge.
And there you have it. Lord Zero's perfect choice as she's as moonbat as they come, but has no record of legal opinions. What was the Senate thinking?????
Senate's vote - 67 yeas and 33 nays. Your usual RINOs voted to confirm Kagan - Snow, Collins, Graham, Judd Gregg (NH), and Lugar (IN). One Dem - Nelson of NE - voted nay.
There's a whole lotta people pissed at Lugar.

Old white guys are a minority n the court, now.

No - the truth is one doesn't need to be a lawyer to be a USSCJ- Granted, they always are but The Constitution doesn't require it.
