Senate confirms first Black woman to conservative 5th Circuit Court

Dana Douglas is one of a handful of nominees that President Joe Biden has picked to fill vacancies in states with two Republican senators.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Dana Douglas of Louisiana is making history as the first Black woman to serve on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. 

President Joe Biden nominated Douglas in June to fill an opening left by 86-year-old Judge James Dennis who took “senior status” last year, today!
