big test

Two bills Pelosi sent up from the House
adjure the Senate to deliberate.

Two sparks McConnell fiercely wants to douse
before the Light of Truth can propagate.
But--in impeachment--Justice would preside

John Roberts takes the seat from the VP.
By oath, he mustn't favor any side

entrusted with the High Court's legacy.
"Two thirds" is still a daunting hill to climb;

Trump's faction keeps their thumbs firm in their ears.
If once we were to prosecute his crimes
some might vote more on ethics than on fears.
Imperfect vessels of our highest trust

could yet prove our republic's been a bust.
