Delaware Supreme Court Justice Tamika Montgomery-Reeves was nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on Wednesday, positioning her to potentially be one of the first two Black women to ever sit on the court.
It wouldn’t be the first bench where she’d break such a barrier, having been the first Black judge ever appointed to either the Supreme Court or the Court of Chancery. If confirmed to the Third Circuit, she’d either be the first Black woman to hold a seat on that bench or the second, if Arianna J. Freeman, whom Biden nominated in January, is confirmed first.
