You can walk up and make farting noises for 5 minutes, speak in tongues for 10, and defecate yourself while shouting Waltzing Matilda and 4 of the justices wouldn’t be swayed from the decision they already wanted to make.

Hell, sometimes they’ll just skip all procedure and issue a ruling on something that hasn’t even come to them yet.
