Enough about the Fifth Circuit for now. Let's check in with the Federal Circuit, where Judge Pauline Newman remains in a state of purgatory. It was clear that Chief Judge Kimberly Moore excluded Newman from a bizarre AI cartoon. Now she is excluded from a real-life group photo on the occasion of Judge Clevenger's retirement.

Life tenure lasts forever, unless it doesn't.
