The two judges in the panels 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 majoritys decision was a travesty.
The case can still be appealed to the full 7th Circuit and the Supreme Court.
Ilana Rovner is an old fossil Lefty Resistance judge who refuses to retire so Trump can replace her.
