Now a President could shoot you and never face a Judge

Skendong Poetry - A US President Can Now Shoot You


Divided They Stand

Supreme Court divided over absolute immunity,
Whether to grant a President papal infallibility.
A policy shaping democracy for years to come —
Soon it may be legal to grab ’em by the pussy,
Shed a fistful of dollars when things get Stormy,
Shielded by lofty judges while felonies grow bulky.

Personal or private — there’s no distinction,
Whether in the White House or acting as a civilian.
But if a President decides upon a military coup,
Capo dei capi — red or blue.
