Pauline Newman, a 98-year-old federal appeals judge suspended by her colleagues over concerns about her mental fitness, has asked the Supreme Court to step into her fight to resume hearing cases, her lawyers said Thursday.
Three years ago, Newman’s fellow judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit prevented her from taking on new cases indefinitely. Newman has sued them, arguing it’s unconstitutional.
The years-long battle has given a glimpse into how the judicial system grapples with issues of age on the bench, at a time when questions about elected officials’ mental fitness is looming large in Washington.
Newman rejects the notion she is unfit to serve, and she wants the Supreme Court to reverse a ruling that barred judicial review of her suspension.
“Other judges who are watching what is happening to Judge Newman can only wonder if a similar fate will befall them if they fail to stay on the good side of their chief judge,” her petition reads.
It has not yet been docketed. The Hill received a copy from Newman’s lawyers.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
