A Stolen Seat

Mitch McConnell and fellow Republicans

For almost a year refused to budge

On President Obama's nominee

To serve as a U.S. Supreme Court judge.

 

As East Coast prime-time drama,

Trump made a big reveal:

To serve on the Court, a staunch conservative

Nominee--the real deal.

 

The judge, recommended by alt-right

Extremist Bannon and far-right groups,

Is going to have to prove himself

By jumping through a series of hoops.

 

The Right wants a judge whose thinking is based

On what our Founding Fathers wrote.

Oh, is that when Blacks were slaves

And women weren't allowed to vote?

 

Democrats in the Senate must learn

From die-hard Republicans--tit for tat--

How to be obstructionists.

Republicans have been experts at that.
