advice and consent

Brett Kavanaugh broke oath; he testified
he'd had no knowledge of judge Pryor's case.
But now we learn not only had  he lied;
the cover-up was done to save his face.
The monarchists we cast off long ago
went underground, but never more than slept
resurgent now, and primed to run the show
since Democrats have proven so inept.
Executive amok would own the Court
the vision not of Madison, but Koch
a system we fought proudly to export, 
in Washington is manifestly broke.
Unstable as a fireside powder-keg,
no useful stool can balance on one leg.
