Both presidents favored younger appointees overall on the judiciary, creating a generational shift.

Sixty-seven vacancies currently exist on the federal bench or are expected to open up based on judges' announced plans to take senior status.

Another 247 judges - 131 by Democratic presidents and 116 by Republicans - will be eligible to move into semi-retirement over the next four years .

The opportunity to significantly alter the ideological balance of the U.S. Supreme Court also seems limited.
