Supreme Court rules that a federal court can’t count the vote of a judge who died before a decision was issued, saying 'federal judges are appointed for life, not for eternity.”

Supreme Court: Judges can’t rule from beyond the grave By JESSICA GRESKO February 25, 2019 People wait to enter the Supreme Court, Monday, Feb. 25, 2019, in Washington. WASHINGTON — Federal judges can’t rule from beyond the grave, the Supreme Court said Monday. The high court said in an unsigned opinion that a federal court can’t count the vote of a judge who died in a decision issued after the judge’s death. The justices said “federal judges are appointed for life, not for eternity.

” “That practice effectively allowed a deceased judge to exercise the judicial power of the United States after his death,” the justices wrote. The Supreme Court noted that without Reinhardt’s vote, the majority opinion he authored was only approved by 5 of the 10 judges on the panel hearing the case “who were still living when the decision was filed.” The Supreme Court sent the case back to the Ninth Circuit for reconsideration.

Any current pictures of RBG that are not one year old, asking for friend?

It’s all about common sense. Something missing in the Democrats brains!

How did RBG vote on this one?

EWErickson Bet whoever voted for Ginsburg, voted against this result.

I guess if dead people can vote then judges should be heard after death too. 🤦‍♀️

Wait...this was an actual case that was argued before the court Really?

Ruth?

Common sense something liberals don’t have.

Why was this even an issue? 🤔

Yea. That seems logical. Is this controversial?

That’s fair.

Interesting that this had to even have a discussion.

The irony here is stunning. Where is RBG?

🧐🧐

Republicans voted for a dead brothel owner 😂🤣😂🤣

WheresRuth

It’s insane this was even an issue.

9th circuit overruled again. Leftist shills

EWErickson Where’s Ruth?

Is Ginsberg alive?

Hmmmm, where’s RBG

This was an a actual question to opine on? What would they do next to twist the law🤡🤡🤡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Bingo

As much as I hate the result, I can’t knock the logic.
