Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

The Supreme Court declined to hear a 98-year-old federal judge’s challenge of her suspension by her peers on the federal appeals court she serves on, leaving the oldest active federal judge suspended from her duties. The high court did not explain its decision not to hear the case brought by U.S. Circuit Judge Pauline Newman, who has been suspended from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for more than three years. Newman was suspended by a panel on her appeals court for refusing to comply with an investigation into concerns over her fitness to serve. The panel requested neuropsychological tests as part of the investigation, but Newman has rejected taking the requested exams, instead pointing to other tests she has passed and insisting she is still fit to serve.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Washington Examiner.
