Kagan Sworn In
Reuters reports that Elena Kagan was officially sworn in as a Supreme Court justice.
Elena Kagan became the fourth female justice in history on Saturday and the 112th U.S. Supreme Court member after President Barack Obama won Senate approval for his second appointment to the high court.
Kagan, formerly Obama's solicitor general in arguing U.S. government cases before the Supreme Court, was sworn in by her new colleague, Chief Justice John Roberts, at the court.
He administered the constitutional and then the judicial oath in a ceremony attended by a small gathering of Kagan's family and friends.
After the oath was given, Roberts welcomed Kagan to the court.
