Obama would curtail the sale of arms
to those accused of crimes unspecified
or who have cussed or contemplated harm
by agencies who skulk and spy and hide
a Right's no right at all if it goes "poof"
when the Executive wants you restrained
due process rests on someone showing proof
before we find our selves disarmed or chained
in times of war the POTUS is most strong
Abe Lincoln did suspend the hoary writ
yet our forefathers didn't get it wrong
appending Bill of Rights to that first bit
the threat's the same, 'though pushed by Blue or Red
when courts are pushed aside, republic's dead
