Courts - Elena Kagan confirmed to the SCOTUS this afternoon
When it convenes in October, three of the nine members of the SCOTUS will be women.
The SCOTUS has had at least one woman member, and often two, serving continuously since the time of President Reagen.
Indiana's five member Supreme Court is one of two state high courts with no women members. In its entire history, the Indiana Supreme court has had only one woman member, and that was in the last century.
