Ginni Thomas Is At It Again

(To be sung to the Noel Coward tune "Alice Is At It Again")

Ensconced in their courtroom aloof and austere,
SCOTUS's justices were august and dull.
Until Clarence's Ginni set the place on its ear
Proceedings had seemed in a continuous lull.
They were very selective in accepting each case
Which was decided when they got around to it.
With no spouses insisting they pick up the pace,
When they felt like it, they'd finally do it.

Not so when Ginni started drumming up cases.
She's a go-getting lobbyist who covers all bases
And generates business by "legislating" results.
Who needs a Congress that is lacking a pulse?
Reversing the maxim "no pain, no gain,"
Ginni's 5 to 4 SCOTUS is feeling no pain.
Her 5 to 4 SCOTUS is drinking champagne?
Ginni Thomas is at it again.

Corporate conservatives in particular love Ginni.
She's not only able to leak them the skinny,
But she generates business by "legislating" results.
Who needs a Congress that is lacking a pulse?
Reversing the maxim "no pain, no gain,"
Ginni's 5 to 4 SCOTUS is feeling no pain.
Her 5 to 4 SCOTUS is drinking champagne?
Who's to complain?
Ginni Thomas is at it again.

In that once austere courtroom Ginni's cracking the whip.
Gone are the days of the somnambulant lull.
No longer can observers claim her old guys aren't hip.
The results of their rewrites cannot be called dull.
Gunfights in Florida scare tourists away
With assists from Jeb Bushie and his NRA.
ALEC works harder to keep promulgating
All the rulings that she and her SCOTUS are still legislating.


From corporate boardrooms and Wall Street venues.
Nowadays everyone successfully sues.
For she generates business by "legislating" results.
Who needs a Congress that is lacking a pulse?
Reversing the maxim "no pain, no gain,"
Ginni's 5 to 4 SCOTUS is feeling no pain.
Her 5 to 4 SCOTUS has been scoffing champagne!
Ginni Thomas is at it again!
