Query--when was the last time a court of appeals judge resigned for a private sector position? Or at least the last time a prominent one did? Starr went to be SG. Most of them resign when they get old. I do remember a couple of SF (NDCal) district judges doing so in the 90s.
The most telling sentence in the article was: "Noone can or should plan a career around being a Supreme Court justice." He probably felt he'd been passed over for what would be his best shot and decided to take the cash.
