sapper

The nomination Mitch McConnell stole
defied two hundred years of precedent.
A third branch under GOP control
makes mock of what our Founding Fathers meant.
Three legs, that undergird a stable stool
be they of polypropylene, or wood
would militate against one-party rule.
But Gingrich tore down much that had seemed good.
Redress could take a generation yet,
depending on mortality, and health.
A court so plainly in one party's debt
can't serve blind Justice while it worships wealth.
The insults Mitch threw in Obama's face
disdain to hide his crass appeals to race.
