And then in 1973 in January, he's sworn in.

And there's, of course, a tradition in America where everybody in the courtroom is supposed to stand for the judge.

And he says, fuck that.

We're all going to stand for the jury.

So jury, you sit down.

We're going to stand for you.

And, yeah.

It also, I, I mean, it's the judge's room.

He can kind of do whatever he wants, but it is confusing to a lot of people, mostly

the jury who they're like, what the fuck is going on?

And he's like, no, no, no, you sit down.

We're standing for you.

And they're just like confused.

Fucking rules.

That's so funny.

He refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance when he is sworn in.

He's like me in high school.

He also, at first he does not wear a robe, a legal robe, or display the American flag in his courtroom, which does, it does get him some attention from the

Michigan Supreme Court, who then mandates that all courtrooms maintain, quote, unquote,

proper judicial atmosphere. And Rabbit's response and says, oh, I agree. i want a proper atmosphere as well i think we just

maybe we have different definitions of proper you want to get into that yeah uh everyone stand

and salute the kiss poster i put on the wall it's fucking fucking sick, bro. Detroit, baby.
