This was the full panel voting 3-0... one Judge appointed by Reagan, one each by Bush and Clinton.

Here's a video detailing the action:

"In a 3-0 decision led by 2 Republican Judges, the Trump Administration and its DOJ have been defeated again in a victory for States' Rights, with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals over Chicago, ruling that during the pendency of the appeal, Trump will not be able to deploy any National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago/Illinois.

Federal troops in American cities to intimidate protesters as the Gestapo ICE kidnap people off the street. Even the National Guardsmen participating are ashamed and hate what they are being told to do. You have to drink prodigious amounts of rightwing radio kool-ade to in any way support MAGA on this.
