No vacancies in the Supreme Court occurred while on his watch. However, Jimmy Carter did manage to appoint an astounding number of judges to the lower courts (i.e. Court of Appeals and District Court). I believe there were 256 justices in all to receive a nod from the former Georgia Governor. Ginsberg and Breyer, who were both lower court appointees of Carter's, later received appointments to the high court.
