Judge Pauline Newman is appealing her suspension from judicial duties in a case that has attracted significant attention. The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) argues that her complete involuntary suspension has no historical precedent, even in serious misconduct cases against judges. The Federal Circuit's Special Committee has raised concerns about Newman’s fitness based on medical evaluations, which she contests. The NCLA maintains that the courts must find valid grounds under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act and highlights procedural inconsistencies in how similar cases have been handled.
In the very cases Defendants-Appellees cite, in which judges engaged in such egregious conduct, those judges were not suspended from hearing all cases unless and until impeached and removed from office.
