Does it make any difference?  Clearly, none of them has made a
previous decision about the constitutionality of copyright term
extension.

And I don't know the DC Circuit rules, but in some circuits (such
as the Federal Circuit), you don't know the judges of the panel
until you get there for oral arguments.  In others, you find out
about a month before, but after you have filed your briefs.  And
the case isn't scheduled to be heard until October 5th.

But if you know who they are, why don't you post it?  It's not
that important, but it's interesting.

But the judiciary seems to get the final say, and certainly will in
this case.
