Mmmm
No, no, no, no, no
Mmmm
Oyez
Yeah, I’m gonna take my case to the Ol’
supreme
I will appeal ‘til I get a writ
I’m gonna take my case to the Ol’ supreme
I’m gonna fight till I can’t no more
The police ignored my rights,
It’s time to go and fight,
At the district court,
Just one the 94.
Reading the Constitution
To find a resolution,
Precedents ain’t fiction
With original jurisdiction.
The court makes a verdict against me
(But just only for today)
Now I’ll appeal to the next court
(Maybe they’ll see it my way)
I’m boutta bring my case up to the court
of appeals
I wanna settle the case, I wanna seal the
deal
These judges all have appellate jurisdiction
Overturn the lower courts in a contradiction.
Yeah! I’ll go at it again
There are 3 that preside over each session
They be working all day they’re never tardy
But they can also rotate, take a break and party
Ay! Testimonies they don’t hear that
Review the lower courts, take their time,
they don’t work fast
Jobs for life, they get fat green paychecks,
you know they work hard, stay humble,
yeah they don’t flex
Yea. Majority ruling
Need two judges to decide what they doing
The can set precedents cause an undoing
They interpret the law, cause a renewing
I failed to pass the court, I’m feeling
kind of sh*tty,
I expected to win and go home feeling giddy
I got one more other option, but it’s kinda
hard to get
Just gotta go supreme, work hard to get a writ
Justices are busy, not a lot of time to spare
They choose cases wisely, they do it with
a lotta care
When four judges choose which argument they
will admit
They give lower courts a special order, that’s a writ
If the Executive cares about a case deeply
The chances of a certiorari increase very
steeply
When a case is big and makes all the headlines
The Supreme Court is less likely to decline.
Yeah, I’m gonna take my case to the Ol’
Supreme
I’m gonna appeal ‘til I get a writ
I’m gonna take my case to the Ol’ Supreme
I’m gonna fight till I can’t no more,
Well my case is now a real sensation
Reporters from around the whole nation.
Amicus curiae briefs, that’s litigation
They give judges the facts, new information.
There 9 justices, and they are trusted
Nominated by the executive
Senate courtesy, that is respected
And the senate confirms, that’s a check and balance
They got lots of facts, short time, workin
ASAP
Justices on the grind and they never ever
holdin back
Civil liberties constitution yeah they like
that
They do lots thinking, and they analyzing
all the facts
Ay, they use stare decisis
They rarely overturn cuz that’s just how it is
Interpreting the constitution like analysts
But they’re weakest branch - as it says
in a Federalist
Yeah, I’m gonna take my case to the Ol’
Supreme
I'm gonna appeal ‘til I get a writ
I’m gonna take my case to the Ol’ Supreme
I’m gonna fight till I can’t no more.
