Wrong title. President Obama appointed former US Solicitor General, Elena Kagan, to the Supreme Court in August 2010. Justice Kagan was confirmed by a 63-37 Senate vote on August 5.
The US Solicitor General represents the United States' interests in court, and reports to the US Attorney General, currently Eric Holder, who is head of the Department of Justice. Eric Holder has not been nominated to the Supreme Court.
