Paging Justice Breyer
Whoops:
Arguments in a technical case at the Supreme Court really resonated Tuesday when Justice Stephen Breyer’s cell phone went off.
Mobile devices are prohibited in the court during oral arguments. A spokeswoman for the court chalked up Breyer’s phone faux-paus as an oversight.
“He doesn’t usually bring his phone and he forgot,” said Kathy Arberg.
The Washington Post’s Robert Barnes was in court and tweeted that Breyer appeared “red-faced” as the justice struggled to silence the offending device.
The pinging sound — the justice apparently has decided against a more distinctive ringtone — occurred near the beginning of Bristol-Myers Squibb v. Superior Court of California.
Honestly, I’m disappointed a Supreme Court Justice didn’t go with something more distinctive.
hahahahaha
The possibilities are … ummm … endless.
personally, I’d go with “Lawyers In Love” by Jackson Browne for a month, and rotate new songs each month.
“I fought the law and the law won”?
Luckily it wasn’t Judge Thomas and his “guillotine falling” sound.
Perry Mason…
My favorite ring tone was one that an administrator in a school at which I taught in Korea had: a standard telephone ring tone followed by (in alternation) “you have a call/you have a call” and “pick up your phone/pick up your phone.”
How about from The Eagles song – Get Over It.
