judge tatel: appointed by clinton. From 1969 to 1970, he served as Director of the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, then returned to Sidley & Austin until 1972, when he became Director of the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law in Washington, D.C. authored Namundo, upholding VRA.

In 1992, Judge Wilkins also was the name plaintiff in a suit over racial profiling against the Maryland State Police, which resulted in a settlement requiring Maryland State Police to maintain records of all traffic stops.

Judge Collyer (bush appointee, active in the texas redistricting cases. So this is a good panel, unless they overreach and annoy the conservative wing of the supreme court.
