The Cowardly Court

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: SUPREME COURT

 

The Cowardly Court

 

That the Court is corrupt is well known

Justice comes at a high cost

But our doubts have only grown

As the Court seems to be lost

 

They may rule on the rights of guns

They may rule on the Federal Reserve

But on tariffs they seem to be stunned

The high court will bend and swerve

 

As a trade war with Europe unfolds

The cowardly court defers

When it should be forthright and bold

They refuse to utter a word

 

Though the law is exceptionally clear

Tariffs are the business of congress

The Supremes prefer not to hear

Any case that provides a fair test

 

Perhaps they will rule on the Bible

As an appendix to the Bill of Rights

Perhaps they’ll reclassify liable

Or maybe they’ll give up the fight

 

The only thing we know is true

Is that they serve the president’s will

When the president wins, the people lose

Yet they serve in silence still
