SCOTUS: Is there no room for black female justices?

President Trump officially announced Judge Amy Coney Barrett as his nominee to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. If confirmed, she will not only become the sole conservative female justice, Barrett will also make history as the first mother of school-aged children to sit on the high court.

There will be plenty of heated debate over her credentials and to what extent positions held by those on both sides of the political aisle have completely changed from what they were in 2016 when then-President Barack Obama nominated Judge Merrick Garland. But one thing still remaining true is that when it comes to appointments to the Supreme Court, black women are still nowhere to be found.
