Text: We review the district court’s legal conclusions de novo. We review its application of law to fact and its factual findings for clear error. American Suzuki Motor Corp. v. Bill Kummer Inc., 65 F.3d 1381, 1385 (7th Cir. 1995). We give due regard . . . to the opportunity of the trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses, Lange v. United States, 31 F.3d 535, 539 (7th Cir. 1994), and when there are two permissible views of the evidence, the factfinder’s choice between them cannot be clearly erroneous. Anderson v. Bessemer City, 470 U.S. 564, 574 (1985).
