She’s sometimes mistaken for her twin sister with whom she bears a striking resemblance; Emmy award-winning CNN National Correspondent Suzanne. Malveaux, 54, of Denver, however, is a bonafide badass in her own right, in the world of law. There’s been recent buzz that the Harvard University and New York University Law-educated former civil rights attorney-turned-law-professor’s name may be being circulated by the Biden administration as a contender to fill one of two federal judgeship vacancies on the Tenth Circuit Federal Court, which covers Colorado, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and parts of Oklahoma. ....
