captured seat

McConnell stole Obama's High Court seat
defying centuries of precedent
Kentucky lawyer, not too proud to cheat
and claim that's what our Founding Fathers meant.
Since "Marbury", we look to the Supremes
to parse our Constitution, or a pact.
It's they who tell us what a statute means,
and who establish when a fact's a "fact".
Much that was long-established's overthrown;
tripartite government lists to one side.
Executive aspires to rule alone
contempt of court is piled on deep, and wide.
Neil Gorsuch thinks himself Scalia's heir,
 in bed with criminals who put him there.
