“Biden’s three picks for the circuit court vacancies are African American women. Among his other nominees are “candidates who, if confirmed, would be the first Muslim American federal judge in U.S. history, the first AAPI woman to ever serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of D.C., and the first woman of color to ever serve as a federal judge for the District of Maryland,” the White House said.
”
President Biden is living up to his commitment to introduce a diverse set of nominees to fill Federal court vacancies. In marked contrast to his predecessor, President Biden is dedicated to ensuring his nominees look like America and fully represent the American populace. The legitimacy of American government rests on the ability to ensure that people believe and trust in their elected representatives and one way to do that is nominating diverse groups of people to fill key governmental positions.
