as the humanitarian crisis worsens.
A 98-year-old federal judge who was sidelined over questions about her competency wants her job back and is asking the Supreme Court for help.

As NPR reports, no court has found Newman to be incompetent, and she has said she's fighting to stop others from being forced out against their will.
So far, her case has been rejected at the federal level.
Her situation raises questions over how the judicial system should be managing an aging workforce.

Both Final Four games will be played Saturday, and the championship game is a week from today.
