The three judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, who will hear Gary Johnson v Commission on Presidential Debates will be Laurence Silberman, Janice Rogers Brown, and Cornelia T. Pillard. The hearing is Friday, April 21, at 9:30 a.m.

This is the case filed by Gary Johnson and Jill Stein that argues that the Commission on Presidential Debates has been violating federal anti-trust laws. It should not be confused with Level the Playing Field v FEC.

Silberman is a Reagan appointee. Despite his long service, he has never before had a case involving minor parties or independent candidates. Here is his wikipedia page. Brown is a Bush Jr. appointee who ruled for the government in the case involving petitioning on interior post office sidewalks, although she wrote that the post office’s policy made little sense. Pillard is an Obama appointee.
