In recognition of Elena Kagan's successful Supreme Court confirmation in the Senate yesterday, Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-Sacramento) released the following statement:

On behalf of California's 5th Congressional District, I congratulate Justice Kagan on her confirmation to the US Supreme Court. Elena's extensive background and achievements attest to her exceptional intelligence and exemplary character. I have had the privilege of working with Justice Kagan during the Clinton Administration and am confident that she will be a valuable addition to the Bench.

I also applaud members of the Senate for working in bipartisan cooperation on Justice Kagan's confirmation. I believe this appointment will bring us one step closer to achieving a government that is truly representative of the American people.
