Obamarama Transitionalicious-a-Go-Go Continues...

Harvard Law School dean Elena Kagan will serve as Solicitor General for the Obama administration. Think Progress notes:
Kagan will be the first woman to serve permanently in this important post, which is tasked with conducting "all litigation on behalf of the United States in the Supreme Court, and to supervise the handling of litigation in the federal appellate courts."
Other key nominations to the Department of Justice include: David Ogden, Deputy Attorney General; Elena Kagan, Solicitor General; Tom Perrelli, Associate Attorney General; and Dawn Johnsen, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel.

Johnsen served as the legal director of NARAL from 1988 to 1993.
