MIKE DAVIS: Federal court sets dangerous precedent against 99-year-old judge
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear U.S. Circuit Judge Pauline Newman's appeal against a suspension imposed by her colleagues on the Federal Circuit, which the author claims is unconstitutional and sets a dangerous precedent. Newman, 99, was suspended over alleged mental competency issues, but independent experts found her fit to serve.
