6-3 vote How did that happen when there are only 8 members currently sitting on the Supreme Court?

O'Connor hasn't officially retired yet.

I think O'Connor is staying on until her replacement is seated.

I think O'Connor is still on. She doesn't officially leave until someone replaces her.

I believe O'Connor said she would stay active until her replacement was confirmed.

How did that happen when there are only 8 members currently sitting on the Supreme Court? LOL. Obviously, there are 9. O'Connor is still on the bench.
Decision is 6-3, so her vote (indeed, no vote) is the swing vote.
