My latest 3-verse limerick was inspired by a CNN article that included this paragraph: “Roberts was shaken by the adverse public reaction to his decision affording Trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution. His protestations that the case concerned the presidency, not Trump, held little currency.”
Poor John Roberts is in a deep funk; His beloved court’s stature has shrunk. And it’s largely his fault For harsh rulings that halt Basic rights. He’s a punk and a skunk.
About justice his court doesn’t care. There’s no effort to ever be fair. It treats stare decisis Like trash. We’ve a crisis; Sound rulings are brutally rare!
So if Roberts is sad, fine by me! For the court must be changed. You agree? Then be sure to vote Dem. No more hawing. Don’t hem! It’s the one way to stem the debris.
It’s a challenge for Trump to comply With societal rules. He’s a guy Who has always felt free To ignore them with glee; To break laws and to flagrantly lie.
Trump’s accustomed to getting his way. But in Criminal Court, he lacks sway. It’s the Judge who has power, So Don’s looking dour, Forced to hold all his anger at bay.
Be quiet in court and sit down! Trump’s compelled to comply (with a frown.) For he fin’lly must face His first criminal case: It’s Judge Merchan who now wears the crown!
Here’s a free tip for Trump: Spewing bile Is best to avoid while on trial. It may help you raise cash, But it still remains rash. My advice: Try pretending to smile.
The 14th Amendment is clear, And the time to take action is here. Quash the “ceiling” charade: Our debts must be paid! Kick extortionist pols in the rear!
Trump has lost his appeal in a rout; Cannon’s pro-Donald rulings are out. Special Master review Has been halted. So cue Sev’ral rants from that “former guy” lout.
Donald Trump is so desp’rate to thwart
Prosecution, he’s apt to resort
To additional crimes,
Like extortion ofttimes;
Indict Trump! Get that felon to court!
Trump’s in great legal trouble. Hooray!
He needs aid on the double — today!
But attorneys with skill
Won’t bend to his will;
The response he keeps getting is NAY!
Dear Donald, it seems that your bluff
Has been called, and in you’re in quite the huff.
Garland’s move to unseal
That warrant? Big deal!
Seems you’ve shot yourself right in the duff.
Donald’s so-called “unjustified raid”
Was approved by a judge. Don’t be played!
T’s were crossed. I’s were dotted.
His crimes have been spotted.
Our nation by Trump’s been betrayed.
Trump’s besieged and (I’ve heard) on the hunt
For lawyers to take on the stunt
Of defending his ass.
Dear Esqs, you should pass…
Or at least get full payment up front.
Dear Donald, I see that once more,
You’re begging for dollars galore.
I’m amused that you claim
It’s for lawsuits. How lame!
Bills from lawyers are bills you ignore.
Headline: “Pence: ‘We must not rest’ until abortion is outlawed in every state”
On One/Six, Pence behaved like a man;
He helped scuttle Trump’s scurrilous plan.
But enough with the praise!
Re abortion, he’d raze
Women’s rights with a nationwide ban.
Headline: “Trump takes credit for Dobbs decision but worries it ‘won’t help him in the future'”
The Donald takes credit for Dobbs.
Does he merit such “credit?” Yes, gobs!
The three judges he picked
For SCOTUS have kicked
Gals back ages … and that was their jobs.
Five SCOTUS extremists decreed
In a dastardly GOP screed
That Roe v. Wade’s dead.
So it’s “Off with her head”
For pro-choicers, no matter the need.
If you value our lost right to choose,
You must vote; forget whining and booze.
Your life’s on the line!
Dump the GOP swine
And make sure all Republicans lose!
With hypocrisy Cotton’s replete,
As he trashes the “legal elite”
At Judge Brown Jackson’s hearing,
His rhetoric searing
With “Fake Commoner” Cotton deceit.
It appears that Tom Cotton forgot
His two Harvard degrees. Oh, what rot!
One’s in gov., one’s in law.
Is “eliteness” a flaw?
Then he has it, which hampers his plot.
The Republicans’ racist attacks
On Brown Jackson ignored all the facts.
And their dog whistle smears
Even pissed off some peers:
Sasse assessment? “Jackassery” acts.
Sidney Powell’s defense to the suit
For defaming Dominion’s a hoot:
Since her claims re Dominion
Were dubious opinion,
The judge has to boot the dispute.
From CNN: “Former President Donald Trump’s five impeachment defense attorneys have left a little more than a week before his trial is set to begin…”
“Mass election fraud — that’s my defense,”
Insisted the Donald, intense.
So his lawyers all quit:
“We’re not selling that shit!”
Donald’s lie ain’t just “big.” It’s immense!
