As federal judiciary gets more diverse, is sentencing jurisprudence likely to change?

The question in the title of this post is prompted by this new piece in the New York Times, which is headlined "For Obama, a Record on Diversity but Delays on Judicial Confirmations."  Here is how the piece starts:

President Obama made history when he nominated Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court.  He did it again with his second nominee, Elena Kagan, raising the number of women on the nation’s highest court to three.

And Mr. Obama has also added judicial diversity further down the federal ladder.  His administration has placed a higher percentage of ethnic minorities among his nominees into federal judgeships than any other president.

So far, Mr. Obama has had 97 of his judicial nominees confirmed — compared with 322 for President George W. Bush and 372 for President Bill Clinton, who each served two terms. So far in Mr. Obama’s presidency, nearly half of the confirmed nominees are women, compared with 23 percent and 29 percent in the Bush and Clinton years.

Some 21 percent are black, compared with 7 percent under Mr. Bush and 16 percent under Mr. Clinton.  And 11 percent are Hispanic, compared with 9 percent under Mr. Bush and 7 percent under Mr. Clinton.  Of the nearly two dozen nominees awaiting a Senate confirmation vote, more than half are women, ethnic minorities or both.

Race is not the only measure of diversity under consideration by the administration — for example, J. Paul Oetken was the first openly gay man to be confirmed to the federal judiciary, in his case in the Southern District of New York.  Mr. Obama has presented three other openly gay nominees to the Senate as well.

Particularly when the focus is upon gender and racial diversity, I think it is very hard to identify a direct or tangible link between different persons serving as judges and a different type of jurisprudence in any specific area.  Nevertheless, now that there is a critical mass of Obama-appointed judges and especially now that some folks "in the criminal justice trenches" have likely had some extensive experiences with Obama's judges, I wanted to see if anyone has a distinct or distictive view on these matters.
