They aren't living any longer than others---living to your nineties isn't all that uncommon. Because the judges are well known you are privy to their ages. You probably walk past people their ages and older every single day.
I have three aunts who all lived to be over a hundred and they ran a business until the the last few months of their lives.
I totally agree; as a country we are living to be into our 80s and 90s and still remainly active. Of course they are able to have the best health care, but that isn't the only reason they are living long lives. Look at our recent Presidents as well and yes, most of our families. My mother in law died at 97, my dad 93 and my dad's sister at just under 90. All were relatively sharp until the end. I play bridge with a number of people in their mid 80s to mid 90s and most are doing very well. By the way, to the person who mentioned none of the justices are obese: the people I play bridge with are all over the place with their weight..Most people, even those who are overweight seem to lose after they reach their 80s..

Last time I checked your life expectancy as an American is 76 years.
They are smart, studious (non-partying) type people that are constantly exercising their brains. I don't think that any of them are obese. They also have access to the best doctors, even for their yearly physicals.

Remember that is taking in to account those who die for various reasons quite young. I read once and I don't remember where, that those who live to be past 60 can expect to live into their 80s. I just don't remember where I read it: senior moment...
