:25:00
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, gentlemen.
:25:06
Now let's check it just once more.
Mr. Justice Carey is now on this end.
:25:10
- That's correct.
- And Mr. Justice Webb?
:25:12
- Webb.
- Mr. Justice Quincy?
:25:15
- That's him.
- Mr. Justice Snow?
:25:17
- That's right.
- The C.J. Stays in the center.
:25:20
- And then Mr. Justice Halperin.
- OK.
:25:22
- Mr. Justice Clewes?
- That's him.
:25:25
- Mr. Justice Thompson?
- That's right.
:25:27
And the new chair for
Justice Loomis on this end.
:25:29
That's correct.
:25:32
Does the lady need this?
:25:34
We'll tell her it's a wastebasket.
:25:40
- Good afternoon.
- Welcome to Washington.
:25:43
- Thank you.
- Everything's ready.
:25:45
- Great. Is the phone in?
- Yes. The man left an hour ago.
:25:48
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
:26:01
- Hello?
- Ready for your coronation?
:26:04
- Bill?
- Yes.
:26:06
How did you get this number?
I don't even know it.
:26:08
I do. If it ever slips your mind,
give me a ring.
:26:11
- In the bedroom, please.
- In the bedroom?
:26:14
I'm talking to the bellman, you idiot.
:26:16
- It's sweet of you to call.
- I wanted to be the first man
:26:19
in history to ask
a Supreme Court justice for a date.
:26:22
So noted. The clerk will
put it on the docket.
:26:24
- That'll take two years.
- Not now that I'm in charge.
:26:31
- Mr. Agronsky.
- Yeah?
:26:32
Whenever you're ready.
:26:35
Tape is rolling.
:26:40
This is a historic day for the nation
:26:42
and for the Supreme Court
of the United States.
:26:45
The court has been in session
since the first Monday in October,
:26:49
which, according to the
Judiciary Act of 1789,
:26:53
marks the start of a
new term each year.
:26:55
No camera has ever photographed
the traditional robing ceremony
