SCOTUS finds that Article III judges are appointed for life, not eternity.

Sotomayor concurs in judgment without comment.

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.

and what's with judge sbarro randomly separately concurring?
