Since 2021, the Senate has confirmed 140 lifetime judges. Two-thirds (94) are women, and more than 40 percent (60) are women of color, including Native American women. At the circuit court level, three-fourths of these confirmed judges are women, and more than half are women of color. (This stands in stark contrast to former President Trump’s appointees, including his nomination of zero Black judges, and just one Latina judge, to federal circuit courts.) But this progress can’t stop here. The professional and demographic diversity these judges bring to our federal courts matters. Our diverse nation needs judges who reflect and represent all of us. And we know this: Demographic and professional diversity on our courts has been shown to increase public trust in the judiciary and improve judicial decision-making.
And the president must continue to choose exceptional, diverse nominees committed to civil and human rights to fill all judicial vacancies. Right now, there are nearly 60 known vacancies without a named nominee. Communities across the nation are depending on the nomination and confirmation of highly qualified and diverse judges who are committed to equal justice—and we urge the White House to make this a priority.
The confirmation of phenomenal and diverse women who are committed to civil and human rights means that our federal judiciary is finally beginning to better reflect and represent the vast and rich diversity of our nation.
