SUPREME FOLLY
\nWho’d have thought there would come such a time
\nWhen the butchering of babes was no crime?
\nNow another miscarriage:
\nHomosexual \u201cmarriage,\u201d
\nLegalized by a panel of nine.<\/p>\n

From the archive<\/em><\/p>\n

ROBERTS\u2019 RULES OF ARDOR
\nA conservative judge may betray us
\nBy voting in ways that dismay us,
\nSaving Obamacare
\nTo conceal an affair
\nAnd avoid the same fate as Petraeus.
\n(2012)<\/p>\n

KAGANROO COURT
\nPoor Obama is losing support,
\nBut he still has a sure last resort:
\nHe can perpetrate strange
\nAnd perpetual change
\nPlacing radicals on the High Court.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

INVERT TED
\nOlson says a square is round,
\nHalf an ounce is twice a pound,
\nTwo o\u2019clock is ten,
\nMen can marry men,
\nAnd the sky is underground.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

TWISTED
\nAs the lavender lobby engages
\nTo subvert Christian culture in stages,
\nThey accuse us of hate
\nIf we dare validate
\nCommon sense and the wisdom of ages.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

BENT ON MARRIAGE
\n\u201cWe are undermining resistance
\nWith our carefully plotted persistence:
\nRather than disparage
\nThe institution of marriage,
\nWe\u2019re defining it out of existence.\u201d
\n(2009)<\/p>\n

SUPREME INDIFFERENCE
\nShould our judges be judged by their gender,
\nOr the justness of verdicts they render?
\nShould we reckon their race,
\nOr their ken in a case
\nAs a strict Constitution defender?
\n(2009)<\/p>\n

PANSY
\nIt will be a stylish \u201cmarriage,\u201d
\nThey can afford a carriage,
\nThey\u2019ll book a suite
\nUpon deceit
\nIn a farcical rite for two.
\n(2008)<\/p>\n

SUPREME IRONY
\nFrom first principles he won\u2019t budge.
\nConstitutionally he won\u2019t fudge.
\nBut with Durbin and Biden
\nAnd their buddies decidin\u2019,
\nHe\u2019s not \u201cfit\u201d to become a judge.
\n(2005)<\/p>\n

PERFECT MATCH
\nA narcissist went to extremes
\nTo marry the one he esteems;
\nHe walked with a smile
\nAll alone down the aisle:
\nHe, himself, was the man of his dreams.
\n(2005)<\/p>\n

PRYOR RESTRAINT
\n\u201cJudicial nominee Pryor
\nMay appeal to authority higher
\nAnd display legal laurels
\nAnd superior morals,
\nBut venality\u2019s what we desire.\u201d
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

LAWRENCE V. TEXAS
\nThe evil with which men are ridden
\nIn normal times hardly is hidden,
\nBut no era\u2019s more awful
\nThan when vice is made lawful
\nAnd propriety, then, is forbidden.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

PRESERVE THE UNION
\nGay advocates harry and vex,
\nMaking simple things seem so complex,
\nBut the truth\u2019s never varied:
\nThey\u2019ve the right to get married \u2013
\nTo a member of the opposite sex!
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

ANIMAL RITES
\nThere once was a man who would marry,
\nBut not in the way ordinary,
\nSo he married a dog,
\nA ferret and frog,
\nA kinkajou, cat, and canary.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

COURT DISASTER
\nHow the judges would snicker and snort
\nAnd delight in making sport
\nOf American troops,
\nIndividuals, and groups
\nIn an international court!
\n(2002)<\/p>\n

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE?
\nThere\u2019s nothing new under the sun:
\nTwo women or men can\u2019t be one
\nAnd only a jerk\u2019ll
\nTry squaring a circle
\n\u2018Cause some things aren\u2019t meant to be done.
\n(2001)<\/p>\n

NO EXCEPTIONS
\nThe rule of law, don\u2019t you see,
\nIs the essence of liberty
\nAnd freedom will end
\nWhen leaders pretend
\n\u201cThe rules don\u2019t apply to me.\u201d
\n(2000)<\/p>\n

LEGAL ISSUE
\nFive Justices\u2019 wanton support
\nPreserves the grim \u201cright\u201d to abort:
\nTo keep babies alive,
\nReplace one of those five
\nAnd establish a life-choosing Court.
\n(2000)<\/p>\n

JUDICIAL RESTRAINT
\nIt\u2019s a perfectly valid complaint:
\nAn activist judge is no saint.
\nSo, give him a jacket
\nThat ties in the back; it
\nWill force him to show some restraint.
\n(1998)<\/p>\n

SCHADENFREUDE
\nWhy do liberals like to besmirch
\nInstitutions confirmed by research
\nAs conducive to wealth,
\nHappiness, and health \u2013
\nSuch as marriage, the family, and church?
\n(1998)<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s limerick<\/em><\/p>\n

LOBO WARNING
\nWhen Al Junior first raised the alarm,
\nSome believed there might be some real harm,
\nBut they found out he’d lied
\nAnd, the next time he tried,
\nThey just tuned out the boy who cried, \u201cWarm!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
