Elena Kagan's Nomination

Statement

Senator Warner released the following statement today on President Obama's nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, to fill the seat of retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.

I believe the President has made a solid choice in nominating Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court. I first met her when she served as the dean of Harvard Law School, and she is very highly regarded across the ideological spectrum for her impressive background in government service and her strong academic and legal credentials. Last year, the Senate voted to confirm Elena Kagan to serve as Solicitor General, and I look forward to prompt Senate consideration of her nomination to the Supreme Court.
