Ah, no. O'Connor has not left yet. She won't leave the bench until her replacement is confirmed. Also, I heard on NPR that she had talked with R about retiring; since R planned to stick it out for another term, she decided to retire this term, rather than have two vacancies simultaneously. I'm actually surprised that she didn't decide to withdraw her resignation based on R's death.
