Just wanted to make sure you saw EMILY's List President Stephanie's Schriock's statement today on President Obama's nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.

Here's what Stephanie had to say:

"I commend President Obama's nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States.... With Elena Kagan, President Obama has selected a strong, independent and intelligent woman for the bench. Her experience and background as Solicitor General and Dean of Harvard Law School will add balance to the court. If confirmed by the Senate, Elena Kagan would serve as the fourth woman ever to sit on the court, and the Supreme Court would have a record three women on the bench. With her nomination the court is one step closer to reflecting the diversity that makes our country so great."
