Exhorting his own mob to "fight like Hell"
Trump put his signature to all their acts.
His lawyers would be ill-advised to dwell
on anything as damning as the facts.

Instead, they maunder on about his "rights"
an argument that's specious on its face.
They blow a lot of smoke, but shed no light;

as Dershowitz observed, "they've made no case".

But politics and law both row this boat
as Tribe and Matz make clear to those who've read.
McConnell won't commit to how he'll vote

until he's sure the wounded beast lies dead.
The price of Liberty can't be deferred;

republics are for citizens, not herds.
