President Obama has announced his nominee for retiring Justice John Paul Stevens's Supreme Court seat: Solicitor General Elena Kagan. Widely regarded by those on both sides of the aisle as one of the nation’s top legal minds, Kagan, 50, has forged a groundbreaking career in law and government service, distinguishing herself through her intellect, integrity, judgment, and work ethic.

Here are a few things you should know about Elena Kagan:

* 1. Elena Kagan was the first female dean of Harvard Law in the school's 186-year history. During her tenure, she fostered consensus among differing viewpoints, promoted a diversity of opinions, and encouraged a respectful exchange of ideas, earning her great admiration among the student body. She also instituted a financial program that encouraged and assisted students in choosing careers in public service.
* 2. If confirmed, Kagan will be the fourth woman ever seated on the nation’s highest court. And, for the first time, the Supreme Court would have three women serving together.

She's not what we desperately needed to couter the right wing extremists on the SCOTUS. And she never will be. Neither is Sotomayor.
