The Federal Circuit has once again left Judge Newman out of its group photo, according to Reason. The outlet describes the move as the latest sign of a "stealth impeachment" continuing against the longtime judge.
The exclusion is symbolic, but Reason treats it as significant because it underscores Newman's ongoing separation from the court's public life. The article suggests the treatment is not merely a clerical oversight but part of a broader effort to sideline her.
The piece provides no new details about the underlying dispute and includes no comment from the court or from Newman. Its significance lies in the repetition: the photo exclusion happened again, keeping the controversy in view.
