Federal Circuit Judge Pauline Newman made her case to the D.C. Circuit on Monday, advocating for an end to the suspension imposed by her colleagues. The suspension is part of an ongoing probe into her fitness to serve as a judge, but Judge Newman has argued that it effectively amounts to an indefinite suspension, in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution.
