The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,693 posts)1. Are you saying that based only on who appointed them
or on the way the arguments are going? Because with judges you can't guarantee how they'll rule based only on how they got the job. The district court judge who ruled against the Trump admin. was also a Bush appointee.

(115,693 posts)6. But you also predicted that the panel would go 2-1.
How so? If it's a slam dunk all 3 judges would rule for the plaintiffs.
