So with the Supreme Court back in session for a new term and as we brace to possibly regress to a new American stone age “Oh, remember the good ol’ days when the lessers knew their place?” and as the Orange appeals to those he feels he has bought and paid for to give him an above the law “what documents of national security?” delay packed in boxes with old crumpled quarter pounder wrappers and used sharpies from photo-op autographs (4500 dollars each and you get a sticker) assist, who get SO very offended at accusations of being nothing more now than another partisan political tool, even taking to stages to cry their dismay but only ever speaking to the very choir of those they claim to resist, to defend their self perceived objectivity, the surest of signs that they know of what they do, I thought of this of mine from back in May.
A little ode to the new High Court.
To the Talking Heads version of “Take Me To The River”.
We don’t know why you livin’ like ya do
G O P can – help you un-blue
We stole two seats now to leave you bereft
Of any hope of what – fair was left
And we wanna know – and we’ll – tell you
Progress stops right here
—
We’ll take it to the SCOTUS
A court beholden to us
We’ll take it all to SCOTUS
Partis’n arm we made thus
To lead it around
Backwards where we’ll be found
—
The extremists are not on the left
That’s just cry rally we’ve always kept
No radical court – it’ s square to the right
They hem and haw but it’s in plain sight
Want you to know, can’t you – see how
We lead them by the haaaaand
—
Take it to the SCOTUS
A court beholden to us
We’ll take it all to SCOTUS
Partis’n arm we made thus
To drag your rights down
Backwards where we’ll be ….
—
Crosshairs, dazed stares, we don’t care, what you want here
Till we can’t,
Till we can’t,
Hold our glee at
Our own court’s red de-crees now
—
It’s a court beholden to us
We’ll take it all to SCOTUS
Partis’n arm we made thus
To lead it around
Backwards where we’ll be found
—
break
—
We don’t know why you’re stewing like ya do
Bout all the rights – next in the queue
To be struck down now – with radical hand
Voting women equal they don’t stand a chance
—
Want you to know now
That your rights now
Are up to Uuuuusssss
—
We’ll take it to the SCOTUS
A court beholden to us
We’ll take it all to SCOTUS
Partis’n arm we made thus
To lead it around
Backwards where we’ll be found
—
We’ll take it, we’ll take it, we’ll take it to the SCOTUS
They’re all ours now and we’re gonna have them show us
We’ll take it, we’ll take it, we’ll take it to the SCOTUS
You’re gonna regret that you didn’t vote for us
We’ll take it, we’ll take it, we’ll take it to the SCOTUS
We own them now and they’re gonna send us backwards fast
