Federal Circuit Extends Judge Newman’s Suspension Another Year Despite Three Doctors Finding Her Competent

🔥 A Witch Hunt in Robes

I’ve worked inside the legal system for over two decades. I’ve seen good judges and bad ones. And I’ve seen how power gets abused when insiders decide they want someone gone.

What’s happening to Judge Newman looks less like a genuine inquiry into fitness and more like a toxic workplace campaign fueled by colleagues who want her seat vacated. She was appointed by Ronald Reagan, and let’s not forget, she’s known for her strong conservative-leaning views on patents and law. Does that make her a target in a court where her ideology is increasingly out of step with her peers? It’s a fair question.

When I read that Newman’s own expert, Dr. Rothstein, admitted he suggested she undergo neuropsychological testing, I thought: fine, she can take the test. But why should she be forced to take it from doctors chosen by the very colleagues who are trying to end her career? That’s like putting your fate in the hands of your accusers. It’s Kafkaesque.

And let’s be honest — even if she took their test and passed with flying colors, do you really believe they’d welcome her back? Or would they just move the goalposts again?
