By The Supremes (Melody: Accentuate the Positives)
By Laurie Baron
SAN DIEGO — The six conservative judges on the Supreme Court have formed a singing group and named themselves The Supremes. Unlike the famous Motown group, it consists of five white men and one white woman who was invited to join them because she belongs to an organization that believes women should subordinate themselves to men. The three liberal women on the court have formed an alternate group called The Dissidents. Here’s the first song issued by The Supremes on the Federalist record label.
We’ve got to overturn the precedents
Heed our nominating presidents.
Adhere to Founder’s sentiments.
Rescind rights granted in-between.
Back gun owners to the maximum.
Discount race to a minimum.
Discriminate for Christendom.
Make abortions vanish from the scene.

Hello Laurie:
Nice job. However, the situation you describe is less satire than farce, and less farce than tragedy. Between the buffoonery of Justice Thomas and the (self) righteousness of Justice Alito (If I didn’t take the private jet seat, it would have remained empty), the (Not So) Supreme Court has debased itself, possibly beyond repair. Who remains: Chief Justice Roberts who has a nice smile but no feeling for ethical standards, Justice Kavanaugh (everyone like a beer and sexual assault is the game of the year) , and Justice Barrett, late of Notre Dame. Yes the nation owes a debt of gratitude to the twice impeached former president and champion grifter Mr. Trump who appointed three of the infamous six.
