Could anyting be more obvious? Sacrifice anything or anyone for political power. Where have we the people allowed this country to go? We have allowed lifelong career politicians to bring us to this juncture.

Kavanaugh
By Franklin Price
9/26/2018

Kavanaugh was nominated for this country's highest court.
His reputation was impeccable the application did report.
Tomorrow's hearing is a test for one who put him in this race
If POTUS Trump would have him, he should not be in place

The liberal opposition said that's really quite enough.
He may make it to that empty seat but we'll make it really tough.
The women's me too movement will find a girl he tried to maul
Even if it was in high school or maybe even not at all

We'll prep her and we'll prompt her 'til her memory is right,
About some drunken party, on some non-remembered night
Will be such an easy thing to do, after all he is a man.
He is guilty by his gender. We should oust him, if we can

He must prove that he is innocent for he is guilty 'til that day, 
Even though our jurisprudence states it is the other way.
If  this one woman's not enough, we'll put another one in place
The setting, in Yale University, puts further egg upon his face

They don't care the degradation that they've put upon this man
They're delaying to the midterms in any way they can.
They know that if they add some seats, they get majority.
Then maybe find another who matches more politically.

No matter if this works or not, there are two more years to go.
The president still appoints the court and the judges that we know.
If tomorrow's hearings go the way, the liberals would choose,
Maybe Trump should choose a woman, another man would surely lose.
