:28:01
Thank you for the lovely roses.
:28:04
You don't send me roses
anymore, C.J.
:28:08
It's 9:58, gentlemen
and Madame Justice.
:28:21
We shake hands like this every day,
just before we take the bench.
:28:25
Like nine boxers coming into a ring.
:28:27
We shake hands before
we knock each other out.
:29:03
The honorable, the chief justice
and the associate justices
:29:07
of the Supreme Court
of the United States.
:29:09
Oyez, oyez, oyez.
:29:13
All persons having business
before the honorable,
:29:15
the Supreme Court
of the United States,
:29:17
are admonished to draw near
and give their attention,
:29:20
for the court is now sitting.
:29:22
God save the United States
and this honorable court.
:29:29
Today's orders of the court have
been certified by the chief justice,
:29:33
filed with the clerk and
will not be announced orally.
:29:38
Probably the peak of
every lawyer's career
:29:41
is that moment when he
is presented and accredited
:29:44
to plead before the
highest court in the land.
:29:47
Only lawyers ever plead
in that hallowed chamber.
:29:51
But today, all eyes are focused
on the court's newest newcomer,
:29:56
who has just received confirmation
from the Senate of the United States.
