Is the 11th Circuit of Appeals like a box of chocolates never knowing what you get?
Appeals normally are decided by panels of three judges working together. In general, these judges are assigned to panels randomly. The judges may play no role in determining who will sit on which panel or in the assignment of cases to a particular panel. Indeed, the creation of the panels and the assignment of cases to individual panels are separate functions often performed by different court units. A panel may include a senior circuit or district judge, a district judge from a district court within the particular circuit, or a visiting circuit or district judge from another circuit.

My note: To this day it is a mystery to me how these panels are formed. I've heard it is decided by lottery out of Washington DC., which begs the question who watches over the lottery? Can anyone verify?
The good news is the Eleventh Circuit (Ala., Ga., Fla.): As of October 12, 2021 presently has 7 Rs and 4 Ds and 1 vacancy. Trump appointed 6 of the Rs.
What Supreme Justice is the Supreme Court Justice over the 11th Circuit of Appeals?
Answer: Thomas Clarence.
Conclusion: My take on this is we already know that everything in Washington DC is corrupt. Watch for the 11th Circuit of Appeals panel to be stacked with democrats. If so, chances are Trump's case will be going before the Supreme Court before Clarence Thomas.
