In the final days of his presidency, Biden has made good on a campaign promise to diversify the federal judiciary, by appointing a record-breaking 40 Black women as judges. All together, Biden appointed 62 Black judges.
Lena Zwarensteyn, who studies legal issues at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Humans Rights, said the move also signals a very specific ideological intent on the part of the president. Biden populated the bench with Black judges who may often be on the front lines of weighing some of the most significant issues facing the Black community, including health care access, equity in education, fair hiring practices, abortion, and voting rights.
That headline really got my hopes up…
There’s 42 current vacancies and I thought he was actually going to fill them before trump gets too.
This seems to be that over 4 years he appointed 40 who were Black women…
It sounds like you think something is wrong with this
I’d wager lots of people think there’s something wrong with having 40+ vacancies going into the next administration.
Anyone have any insight on their records and politics?
Sounds good, but the Biden admin has a history of using black faces to represent their worst policies.
Why did it take so long?
Dude…he didn’t appoint all of them yesterday, this has been over the entire course of his administration
The article is poorly worded.
