Looks like the decisions that favor patent trolls were all decided by majority Obama appointees. Makes me wonder if the new Supreme Court appointees will accept any challenges to these rulings and if so, will they finally put a leash on this Federal Circuit Appeals Court.

These pro-patent decisions by the FAFC have generally been struck down by SCOTUS repeatedly. The history of patent decisions is basically "FAFC says this isn't kosher" and SCOTUS responds "you're a pack of idiots; REVERSED by a unanimous court".
I hope they don't use your logic. And actually have valid legal arguments.
