Obama Appoints As Many Women Judges In One Term As Bush Did in Two

Posted on September 11, 2012 by TRP

Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Judge Stephanie Rose to a federal court in Iowa, making her the 72nd woman appointed to the federal bench by President Obama. Coincidentally, 72 is also the same number of women President George W. Bush appointed to the bench during his entire presidency — meaning that Obama accomplished in under one term something that took his predecessor two full terms to complete. President Bill Clinton appointed more women to the bench than any other president, 111, but only 61 were appointed in his first term.
