Ailing Chief Justice William Rhenquist has announced publicly that he was not yet ready to follow Sandra Day O'Connor into retirement from the United States Supreme Court. As sung by Chief Justice William Rhenquist to the American public:
(instrumental intro)
Quittin' when my term ain't done?
No, I ain't quittin', though it might please some.
Judgeships aren't all the same.
On my watch, I want to play again.
Ain't quittin' from the docket today,
Unlike my colleague, Sandra Day.
Ain't quittin' from the docket today.
I'll take my ti-i-i-ime...
I made sure the law's aimed towards ya...
Headin' off permissive ways.
Ain't got nothin' if you're poor.
Crooks get nothin' if they're locked away.
Ain't quittin' from the docket today,
Unlike my colleague, Sandra Day.
Ain't quittin' from the docket today.
I'll take my ti-i-i-ime...
(Bridge:)
Looks like Supreme Court's gonna change.
And if I quit, then I'd be the one to blame.
I'm Chief Justice; you can't tell me what to do.
So, I'll stay here and just stake my claim.
Won't quit; I fear deep in my bones:
The conservatives won't leave me alone.
Court make-up must not roam.
I'll stay in this docket, my "home."
Ain't quittin' from the docket today,
Unlike my colleague, Sandra Day.
Ain't quittin' from the docket today.
I'll take my ti-i-i-ime...
(whistle ad lib, and fade)
