Why didn't she decline the nomination?

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, who attended Harvard University and served as law dean there, says that the Supreme Court is too heavily dominated by lawyers from elite law schools. If she really believes that, I wonder why she didn't turn down her nomination and ask that a graduate of Liberty University Law School be nominated instead.

She decries the lack of diversity on the court which includes a black man and three women, one of whom is Hispanic. If she really believes that, I wonder why she didn't turn down her nomination and ask that a half-black half-Hispanic transsexual be nominated instead.

Words mean things, Justice Kagan. But actions speak louder.
