Five Democrats, all appointed by Democratic governors.

Presiding Judge Dianne Renwick, a Black jurist who previously served as a staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society.

Anil Singh, a judge born in India who immigrated to the US, went to Antioch Law School, and prior to becoming a judge worked for another judge who started out representing criminal defendants for the Legal Aid Society.

Lizbeth Gonzalez, a Latina judge who previously served as Visiting attorney for the Puerto Rican Legal Defense & Education Fund and as a senior attorney for MFY Legal Services (aka Mobilization for Justice, an organization providing legal services to low-income New Yorkers).

Bahaati Pitt-Burke, a Black jurist who previously worked for the Legal Aid Society.

Kelly O'Neill Levy, previously served as a principal law clerk to the late Judge Rose Rubin, one of the first women to become a New York judge and also served on the Board of Directors of the Women’s Bar Association and the Board of Trustees of the Community Service Society of New York.


You can make whatever assumptions you want about whether they would do Trump any favors - even assuming any of these same judges are on the panel that hears the appeal.

Perhaps we need a forum labeled "Rants and Vents" Raven123 Mar 25 #13
one persons rants and vents are perfectly reasonable responses to other persons nt msongs Mar 25 #14
Or "Dooming and Premature Surrender" emulatorloo Mar 25 #26
Solid advice. People may not realize it, but for some of our members this is the only safe haven they have to vent. bluesbassman Mar 25 #17
