Do you have a link for what you are claiming? There were various reports, one that a Clinton-appointed judge was the one dissenting, another that it was a Bush 41 judge who dissented.

I've seen it as there being both Clinton-apointed judges and Bush-appointed judges who both dissented and agreed with the rulings...

I don't think the rulings and opinions and dissentions have been based on any one political philosophy...

The federal judge here in Tampa who was first to hear the case is a Clinton appointee. He is the one who chose to simply ignore the law that Congress had passed and treat the case like any other appeal, not like the new case that Congress had intended. And of course, he's perfectly within his rights to do so since Congress, probably in an attempt to be 'gentlemanly' used the word 'may' instead of the word shall and he conveniently decided that may also gave him the choice of 'may no' and that was his path. Legally according to the letter of the law. All nice and neat.
