11 of the last 12 SCOTUS justices were picked from appeals courts (exception: Kagan, SG, nicknamed “tenth justice”). There are just 5 black women on US appeals courts—the youngest is 68 this year. Biden will likely want someone younger to hold that seat. https://t.co/QRA9oystc1 — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Joe Biden’s pledge to put a black woman on the Supreme Court has one problem. He doesn’t have many options in the federal courts to elevate. I dove into the numbers and the likeliest prospects. https://t.co/v0Cx5ttC2E — PolitiTweet.org

What about district courts? More options—but not many. Narrow it to Democratic appointees 55 or younger this year (max age of the last 7 confirmed nominees) and you’re down to NINE black women. One is Ketanji Brown Jackson, 49, an Obama 2016 short-lister. https://t.co/QRA9oystc1 — PolitiTweet.org
