This would take me two days to research and write - always check your results but it looks like the three Obama appointments made the Tenth Circuit a 7-5 Lib majority.

The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals typically has a full complement of 12 active judges, although this number can vary if there are vacancies. As of the latest information, here is the breakdown of the judges and their ideological leanings:
Active Judges
Timothy M. Tymkovich (Chief Judge) - Appointed by President George W. Bush (Conservative)
Mary Beck Briscoe - Appointed by President Bill Clinton (Liberal)
Harris L Hartz - Appointed by President George W. Bush (Conservative)
Jerome A. Holmes - Appointed by President George W. Bush (Conservative)
Scott M. Matheson Jr. - Appointed by President Barack Obama (Liberal)
Carlos F. Lucero - Appointed by President Bill Clinton (Liberal)
Nancy L. Moritz - Appointed by President Barack Obama (Liberal)
Gregory A. Phillips - Appointed by President Barack Obama (Liberal)
Joel M. Carson III - Appointed by President Donald Trump (Conservative)
Allison H. Eid - Appointed by President Donald Trump (Conservative)
Robert E. Bacharach - Appointed by President Barack Obama (Liberal)
Carolyn B. McHugh - Appointed by President Barack Obama (Liberal)
Senior judges, who are semi-retired and may still hear cases, can also influence the court’s leanings. They often participate in cases to fill out panels:
Stephanie K. Seymour - Appointed by President Jimmy Carter (Liberal)
David M. Ebel - Appointed by President Ronald Reagan (Conservative)
Paul J. Kelly Jr. - Appointed by President George H. W. Bush (Conservative)
Bobby R. Baldock - Appointed by President Ronald Reagan (Conservative)
Michael R. Murphy - Appointed by President Bill Clinton (Liberal)
Deanell Reece Tacha - Appointed by President Ronald Reagan (Conservative)
Terrence L. O’Brien - Appointed by President George W. Bush (Conservative)
Harris L Hartz - Appointed by President George W. Bush (Conservative)
The court’s composition means it has a mix of conservative and liberal judges, with a slight lean toward a liberal majority due to the appointments made during the Obama administration.
However, the balance can shift with new appointments and retirements.
Thanks!
Looks like it’s slightly conservative, but the Barack side of the Jobama cabal is to blame, not the Pedo Joe side.
