Well, not going to predict how this is all going to pan out, but to the best of my knowledge, here are the 11 judges who compose the DC appellate court. And the presidents who appointed them...which may give us a clue as to their judicial philosophy. Or not. Out of the 11, 7 were appointed by Democratic Presidents, and 4 by Republicans. One, I hear, is retiring at the end of August, this year. Janice Rogers Brown. I'm not an expert on this, but I am just throwing this out there FWIW.
Chief Judge Merrick B. Garland 1997–present — Clinton
Circuit Judge Karen L. Henderson 1990–present — G.H.W. Bush
Circuit Judge Judith Ann Wilson 1994–present — Clinton
Circuit Judge David S. Tatel 1994–present — Clinton
Circuit Judge Janice Rogers Brown 2005–present — G.W. Bush
Circuit Judge Thomas B. Griffith 2005–present — G.W. Bush
