But I don't like the idea of turning the justice system into a Democrat vs Republican thing. This is why judges have tenure and lifetime appointments, to be free of political pressure, and it works. There needs to be a system that both sides agree on otherwise the whole thing falls down.
Your NPR link was from October, from the previous round of legal wrangling.

I was basing my assertion on the original link, which stated

Meanwhile, in Baltimore on Tuesday, US District Judge Marvin Garbis delivered another blow to the Trump administration by blocking its ban on transgender people serving in the military.

In July 1989, Judge Garbis received notification that he had been nominated by President Bush for appointment to a vacant seat on the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. This appointment was confirmed by the Senate on October 25, 1989, and finalized on December 8, 1989, when he was commissioned.
Most of the other media outlets are stating it was Judge Marvin Garbis who runs led on the trans-gender ban.
