Federal Judge, 95, Battles Colleagues Accusing Her of Inability To Serve Following Illness

Pauline Newman, the oldest active federal judge in the US, is suing her colleagues for pressuring her to retire after she suffered a heart attack last year.
Newman's colleagues have accused her of significant mental decline and strange behavior that renders her incapable of effectively serving on the bench.
Newman claims her colleagues are violating the Constitution by mandating retirement for those serving lifetime appointments as federal judges.
Newman has been stripped of work responsibilities, staff, and access to technology by her colleagues.
Newman is asking the courts to end the investigation into her mental and physical fitness and allow her to continue serving as an active federal judge.
