Since there are judicial appointments always looming in the future I thought this little tune would help to set the proper mood. Sung to the tune of AC/DC’s “Back in Black”
Robed in Black
Robed in black,
I’m quite a hack,
Objectivity is what lack.
Yes, I’ve got views,
And a ruse,
A lifetime job to abuse.
No matter how hard you try,
Murderers won’t fry,
You’re stuck with me until I die.
I’m just one judge,
But never budge,
Losing every election makes us hold a grudge.
CHORUS:
‘Cause I’m in black,
Yes, in black,
Well, I’m a hack,
Dressed in black,
A party hack,
Don’t give me flack,
‘Cause I’m robed in black.
Gavel the bench,
It’s a cinch,
Quick with the rulings that’ll make you flinch.
It’s all a game,
I’ve got the fame,
So the constitution I will gladly maim.
Appointed by a sap,
So I’m beatin’ the rap,
Ignorin’ all that strict constructionist crap.
So listen when I say,
Just get out of my way,
I’ve got some really cool rights to invent today.
