Brings to three the number of female justices currently on the Supreme Court
She is President Barack Obama's second appointment to the US's most powerful court and only the fourth woman to serve on the nine-member panel.[more]
The 50-year-old becomes the youngest serving Supreme Court judge. She will serve alongside President Obama's first appointment, Sonia Sotomayor.
it's funny, i heard this bbc story repeatedly on the radio for at least a day after kagan's installation, and every time the announcer said she was the youngest justice in supreme court history.
apparently they finally caught the error.
