Enron, Judge Gilmore, and the Rolling Stones

The Chronicle reports here that the Enron criminal case against several individuals formerly involved in Enron's Broadband unit has induced U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore to begin quoting the Rolling Stones:

Citing nonlegal scholar Mick Jagger, a federal judge Monday scolded defense attorneys in an Enron case, basically telling them to stop whining.

"We have the Jagger doctrine here. You can't always get what you want, but if you try really hard, you get what you need," U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore told lawyers in the Enron broadband case, paraphrasing the Rolling Stones song.
