1. Did you do a post for Evan Wallach? I can't seem to find one on DU.

Evan Wallach - Federal Circuit

Confirmed: November 8, 2011
Vote: 99–0

Did that change the majority in that circuit?

2. Looks like Dem appointees had a majority prior to that, now 6-5-1

Dem nominee must have replaced another Dem appointee. Probably Gajarsa.
