The Supremes

It appears the Court’s divided
By a vote of 5 – 4;
And on the 4 side, one of them
Will soon be out the door.

It’s troubling for a liberal
When right-wing thinking rules,
Despite the saying “Over-30
Left-wing folk are fools.”

The female justices agree
Most often, and inspire
Some hope for me that things could change;
The same applies to Breyer.

As for Thomas and Scalia,
Roberts, Kennedy and Sam,
When I read some rulings that they’ve won,
I can’t suppress a “Damn!”

For we all are at their mercy
As they argue ‘bout the law
And the bulk of their decisions
Seem to stick inside my craw.

The highest honor in the land’s
Deserving of our trust,
But the justices don’t always make
A ruling that seems just.*
