Do you mean 17? From the Fifth Cir. opinion: "Before Richman, Chief Judge, and Jones, Smith, Barksdale, Stewart, Dennis, Elrod, Southwick, Haynes, Graves, Higginson, Willett, Ho, Duncan, Engelhardt, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges."
I was going on this:
“...The ruling from the full appeals court, 16 full-time judges at the time the case was argued”
So the Cheif voted too?
