From the looks of things they all were appointed by President Bush and not the democrats. Am I reading this right?
They were all appointed by Rehnquist. Someone posted some detailed info about the FISA court.
Rehnquist was probably trying to be "fair and balanced".
It's time for Republicans to stop trying to be "fair and balanced" and appoint those who share their philosophy. The Dems would never be caught appointing Republicans to anything.
They are appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from the list of people already on District Courts (I think); it's hard to say who appointed them to those lower courts.
