There will now be more black people serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee than have ever served on the Senate Judiciary Committee before today combined.

By the way, Sens. Feinstein, Klobuchar, and Hirono are the only other women to have served on the Senate Judiciary Committee, from what I could find. And they are all on it now.

Replying to @chrisgeidner
Sen. Moseley Braun and Feinstein joined the committee together (they were the second/third women appointed to the committee, she was the first African American woman).

"In 1991, the Senate included two women members, but neither Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas nor Barbara Mikulski of Maryland served on the Judiciary Committee."
