| Three years ago, Judge Pauline Newman’s “fellow judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit prevented her from taking on new cases indefinitely,” citing concerns about her mental fitness. Newman, now 98, filed a lawsuit over the decision, fighting to continue hearing cases. Last week, Newman brought her case to the Supreme Court, asking the justices in a petition for review to allow her to challenge her suspension in court, according to The Hill. “Newman argues her suspension is unconstitutional and that her due process rights were violated, because her colleagues should’ve transferred the matter to another court.” |
