"On behalf of all New Yorkers, I would like to extend congratulations to New York native Elena Kagan on her confirmation as the 112th Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Throughout Ms. Kagan's remarkable career she has demonstrated great leadership, integrity and intelligence, and these qualities will continue to serve her well on our nation's highest court. I commend President Obama for nominating Ms. Kagan, whose devotion to the American judicial system and commitment to public service has earned her respect and admiration from both sides of the political aisle." |
