:27:00
in the sanctum sanctorum
of the court,
:27:03
and none is there today.
:27:05
Since the death of
Justice Stanley Moorehead,
:27:08
this has been an eight-man court,
:27:10
which, as Justice Daniel Snow
has pointed out,
:27:13
resembles a four-man
basketball team.
:27:16
- Today, the vacancy is filled.
- How are you?
:27:19
- But this remains an eight-man court.
- Well, where is she?
:27:23
Maybe we ought to sound
the warning buzzer sooner.
:27:25
I suppose she has
things to do that we don't.
:27:27
After all, I don't have anything
to do with my hair.
:27:30
This is an historic occasion.
:27:33
Like the Jesuits going coed.
:27:36
Suppose she'll want to hang chintz
curtains everywhere? I hate chintz.
:27:39
Why am I nervous?
She should be nervous.
:27:42
Things aren't going to
be different from the way
:27:44
they've been every
two minutes to ten in court history.
:27:47
We've got to think of her
as one of the brothers.
:27:50
Good morning.
:27:54
Justice Loomis, welcome.
Welcome to the court.
:27:57
- Thank you. Good morning.
- Nice to have you with us.
: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.
