I'm here.
That is a weird headline considering that President Trump and President Obama have both had the same number of Supreme Court Justices appointed and neither of President Obama's picks were black either.
And the last black Supreme Court Justice was appointed during a Republican administration.
Also, Trump has nominated black federal Article III judges at the District level that were appointed, but I will take the headline as true as it relates to the Court of Appeals.
It is important to note that the recent SCOTUS opinion--that ruled that firing an employee because of their sexual orientation or transgender status violates Title VII--was actually written by one of Trump's nominees.
