Courts For Sale
Sung to the Cole Porter tune
"Love For Sale"

Courts for sale.
Left and right wing courts for sale.
Some with judges Bush has roiled.
Some with judges Bush has oiled.
Courts for sale.

Who will buy?
With extremists at an all time high
Who will pay the steepest price
For the guarantee of loaded dice?
Courts for sale.

If idealists tout our courts
In their naïve way,
How will bidders know which courts
Let us help defray
The cost of verdicts most will love,
Not ones that Bush still dreams of
For what-you-say crimes,
Staying-gay crimes,
Even you-won't-pay-to-pray crimes?

Courts for sale.
Against or for aborts for sale.
Raise the dough and buy your share.
Make your judge a billionaire.
Courts for sale.

What's Scalia's asking price?
Ask Scalia's speaking price.
Courts for sale.
