The two judges in the panel’s majority were both nominated by Republican presidents. Circuit Judge Frank Easterbrook was appointed by Ronald Reagan and Circuit Judge Amy St. Eve was appointed by Trump.

Circuit Judge Ilana Rovner, an appointee of George H.W. Bush, also a Republican, wrote in a dissent that the majority’s decision was a “travesty.”

Three judges appointed by three (R) presidents. Just proves that the deep state is alive and well even in "our" party.

Easterbrook ... appointed by Ronald Reagan.

He was appointed in 1985, at the age of 37.

These judicial appointments are extremely important. Ronaldus Magnus' appointments are still impacting us today.

According to Wikipedia there's a judge appointed by Gerald Ford still on the 7th Circuit. He's 94.
