                                                                Black robe blitzkrieg and Bassackwards Tribesman

                                                                 Thom-ass Clarence ARE the White Supreme Court

                                                                              “they had no rights which the white

                                                                                   man was bound to respect”

                                                                     —Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney,

                                                                                    1857, Dred Scott v. Sanford

 

Black robe blitzkrieg—

was it Down with Brown…

and Roe to go— or Down

with Roe… and Brown to go?

Bassackwards Tribesman, Thom-ass

Clarence, switches from Long Dong

Silver shaving in his mirror. Defiantly,

he Crows:

“Spinnin Ginni sat me right down and she

Talked to me about my yachting with Mr. C—

About my high-net-worth friends who pay no

Estate/Inheritance/Income/Wealth Taxes—and

Love chopping welfare rolls with their gilded axes!”

She asked, “Who paid for your Momma’s house?

And who bankrolls your loving spouse?

Who paid for your nephew’s school?

Who pays for you to sit by the pool?”

“Babe, who wouldn’t want a benefactor billionaire—

Who collects swastika linen with his 3rd Reich ware?

Who wouldn’t jet set with a powerful CEO?

And who wouldn’t work out a lil quid pro quo?”

“Remember, babe, this isn’t our first rodeo

Dancing conflicts of interest—dough-see-dough—

While policing wombs—And ruling in utero—

Land of Guantanamo and Sacred Embryo!”

“Who cares about the Apache and Navajo?

Who handed the bums a buck on Skid Row?

Who sent “thoughts and prayers” to Buffalo?

Doubters and haters—You can go eat Crow!”

“Hon, this hoopla’s just another ‘hi-tech lynching for uppity Blacks—

’ But God, guns, GOP, Citizens United, Stare Decisis got our backs!

So, we wanna spread the news: that when it works this well gettin used…

We’ll never recuse…”

Black robe blitzkrieg—

was it Down with Brown…

and Roe to go— or Down

with Roe… and Brown to go?
