Judge Edith Jones of the #5thCircuit U.S. Court of Appeals argued in a letter to the WSJ that the #FederalCircuit circumvented the “usual process” in its probe of Judge Pauline Newman’s mental fitness and her alleged failure to cooperate with investigators.
Newman, 96, has allegedly shown bouts of memory loss, confusion and paranoia. A 3-judge panel is seeking to suspend her for one year or until she submits to a court-ordered examination.
