Decapitated recently,
The US legal system—
When laws arise indecently,
It’s better to resist them.
Though Lincoln counseled to forbear
He never could foresee this,
A court that fell beyond repair,
A court that came to be this:
A headless wonder that marauds
In service of no master
Except pecuniary gods
Foreboding of disaster.
Even if Gorsuch were impeached
Where lies the will to fix it?
The fatal breaking point being reached,
If his were but a quick sit,
Yet who would fill the vacant seat?
McConnell broke the means,
And, honor having made retreat,
Money now sets the scenes.
Oh woe the disharmonious roster,
Eight justices, and now
The ninth seat filled by an imposter
That conscience can’t allow.
Oh, woe to all ye party hacks
Who would destroy the country
To slip a false judge through the cracks
So to secure your bounty.
When private ends trump public weal—
Well, thus is how you get
A clown granted judicial seal,
Imprimatur of shit.
