Newman's counsel argued in a public statement that Moore's actions represent an 'unconstitutional campaign that has functionally removed a sitting Article III judge from office', highlighting the significant legal implications of this case.
Judge Newman's appeal, filed with the D.C. Circuit, emphasizes her noteworthy career and asserts that multiple medical evaluations recognize her cognitive abilities, which questions the legitimacy of the inquiry into her fitness.
The appeal raises critical questions regarding the constitutionality of suspending a confirmed Article III judge, examining legal concerns surrounding the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act and its application.
The investigation into Judge Newman by a Special Committee that included Chief Judge Moore marks a significant precedent, being the first instance in the context of judicial disabilities.
