evil precedent

to Feldman, Korematsu's just bad law
that no one should invoke as precedent
no ruling need point out its basic flaw
it's just not what our constitution meant
instead, he must propose another test
to validate a base to build upon
his bland assurance that he knows what's best
can't guide our legal heirs when he is gone
aesthetics seem too fuzzy to be weighed
and logic--strictly--stalls at 'cogito'
so what's the benchmark to which laws get made
for those who don't let monarchs just say so
our world seems fragile while it's on the books
to hang new legislation on bad hooks
