    Jay Willis Retweeted The Appeal

    Half of this country's state supreme courts in the year of our lord 2020 are all-white! Half of them!!! Sorry for all the exclamation points but they truly represent how I feel about this information!!!!!https://twitter.com/theappeal/status/1255856430135029761 …

    Jay Willis added,

    The AppealVerified account @theappeal
    A Brennan Center report last year found that 24 state supreme courts are all-white, and 13 have never seated a justice of color. With the addition of G. Helen Whitener to the Washington's, it is now the most diverse appellate court in the country. https://theappeal.org/politicalreport/washington-new-justice-whitener/ …

        So the Brennan Center updated their report earlier this year and found that the number of supreme courts with no justices of color had decreased from 24 to...23. Progress!! https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/state-supreme-court-diversity-february-2020-update …pic.twitter.com/2QUoIYnfnZ

        I think some of these counts are wrong. The report says Texas has 11%, but with two 9 member bodies, it is 1 of 18. The count could easily go the other way too.
