A Few Lines Straight From My Heart

I'm no legal expert, I'm the first to say Nor do I live in Israel, though I'm a citizen anyway But it's hard to watch a proposal tear my country apart So I'll write a few lines here, straight from my gut and my heart What if Congress could overrule the US Supreme Court's every decision It seems a surefire path toward unprecedented division Imagine Roe vs. Wade subject to Congressional wrangling and supervision The resultant laws, a recipe for chaos, scorn and derision * So, that parallels what's been proposed in Israel's judicial revisions ** ~ likened to an axe making the finest of incisions __________________________________________________________ *With every change of power in Congress, (almost every election these days), Roe vs. Wade would be revisited and redecided. Heaven help us! **By a majority vote of Israel's Parliament (Knesset), Israeli Supreme Court rulings could and would be overturned. (And with each shift in the ruling majority's composition, a fresh round of overturning could and would begin).
