Two judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit seemed at odds Thursday over whether to revive a racial discrimination suit by an Asian American woman who claimed that she was improperly terminated from her position and replaced by a white worker.

The dispute, on appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York, pitted U.S. Circuit Judge Rosemary S. Pooler, a 1998 appointee of former President Bill Clinton, against U.S. Circuit Judge Joseph F. Bianco, who was appointed to the court by former President Donald Trump in 2019.
