The Senate confirmed President Joe Biden ’s 200th judicial nominee on Wednesday, a significant milestone both in terms of the sheer number of lifetime federal judges he’s gotten confirmed and the astounding diversity he has infused into the nation’s courts.
To put this into some context: A total of 3,254 white men have served on the Supreme Court, appeals courts or district courts since the U.S. federal court system was created in 1789, according to the Federal Judicial Center. But Biden is not likely to fill as many appeals court vacancies as Trump did, he said. By the end of Trump’s term, he had confirmed 54 appeals court judges. There simply aren’t enough vacancies for Biden to fill to hit that number by the end of the year.
