Obama will be nominating new judges to Appeals courts that would then be at the most common spring board to the SCOTUS. The pool will be getting younger.

Obama's current judicial nominees to the federal bench:

U.S. District Judge David F. Hamilton, Born 1957, nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.
U.S. District Judge Andre M. Davis, Born 1949, the U.S. nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. African American.
U.S. District Judge, Gerard E. Lynch, Born 1951, nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.
And of course Judge Sotomayor...

but am happy to see so many women.
