You Too Can Be Jesse Jackson: SCOTUS
Friday, April 16, 2010 
You Too Can Be Jesse Jackson!
In your best Reverend Jackson voice say the following rhymes out loud:
With the looming retirement of one of the esteemed
the President needs to pick a new Supreme.
No matter how much the President tries to nudge
The Republicans will do their best to begrudge, refuse to budge
just to hold up a new judge.
The Republicans went crazy when Obama chose Sotomayor
They couldn’t have been any meaner
They acted like wieners
trying to humble her proud demeanor
treated her like a bathroom cleaner,
acted like they were radio station call screeners.
Must have been intimidated by a mind that was keener,
and possessed by a wise Latina.
Orrin Hatch was hinting that Obama might choose Clinton.
The White House said no.
It wasn’t the way to go.
How about a Judge that has their own show?
While we’re at this how about Judge Greg Mathis?
Would it be a dereliction of duty
if he chose Judge Judy?
When a POTUS chooses a SCOTUS the court can become realigned
redefined,
and reassigned,
as Judges become confined,
intertwined,
as they sit on their behinds.
I hope they are all in the right state of mind,
and (PAUSE) inclined
to remember that justice is blind.
No more dashing of hopes
and making decisions for dopes
like pulling Bush off the ropes
in that 2000 election jive
and Let’s try to keep hope alive.
Fuzzy Wuzzy wuz a bear
The Supreme Court has an empty chair
Let’s hope the nominating process is fai
and that we won’t have to search the globe
to find somebody to wear the black robe.
Let us pray that they have the patience of Jobe
and no problem with their frontal lobe
Now high five yourself
