Judges Andre Davis and James Wynn were randomly selected for the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel.
The third judge also is a Democratic appointee. Judge Diana Motz was named to the court by former President Bill Clinton. Their names were posted on the court's website Tuesday morning.
The panel in Richmond will hear two cases involving the legislation Tuesday. In one, the federal government is appealing a ruling striking down the law's requirement that individuals buy health insurance or pay a penalty. In the other case, Liberty University is appealing another judge's ruling upholding the law.
