"Because Judge Reinhardt was no longer a judge at the time when the en banc decision in this case was filed, the Ninth Circuit erred in counting him as a member of the majority. That practice effectively allowed a deceased judge to exercise the judicial power of the United States after his death. But federal judges are appointed for life, not for eternity."

RBG is sad.

The grants of certiori are limited. (most of the list were denied)

re: USSC decision - (I have no idea what’s going on..)

could this be an attempt to void any en banc decision that was filed after Judge Scalia’s death?

(I have no legal knowledge..but I look for derpishness in everything now...)

Ah, now it is clear to this simple non-legal mind. Thank you!
