"Oh why oh why do you oppose John G.?

He seems so perfectly able to me."

Aye, he is able because of his mind.

He's smart as a tack, he seems like a find.

Yet he is also successful by tongue.

He talks up a song like a bell has been rung,

You don't realize that the content's been wrung

From those answers he gave 'til your sight is of hind.

"Oh why oh why do you oppose John G.?

He seems to be rather moderate to me."

Aye, he seems like a nice guy to know,

Though I wonder, was it all just a show?

The men who want government to rule over

Women's wombs are happy. (So's Grover.)

The radicals seem like they're rolling in clover.

What do they know? And why do they crow so?

"Oh why oh why do you oppose John G.?

A Yes now means stronger No votes yet to be."

Aye, there are many who say that, I see.

But it doesn't make all that much sense to me.

If would-be Chief Justice sails right on through,

Then what is Bush-Rove-Norquist likely to do?

It seems easy confirmation is a cue

To name a wingnut like Janice R.B.

Although it seems that maybe the next nominee

Will be none other than Alberto G.

Who with our John G. say that our own Camp G.

Is hunky dory, constitutionally.

"Oh why oh why do you oppose John G.?

He answered the questions so reasonably."

Aye, he seemed reasonable, but, you see,

His answers don't bind him. As with Clarence T.

No matter what in the hearings he vows,

In Justice chambers his power allows

Him to change willy nilly how much he bows

To precedents like equality

And privacy

And liberty.

"Oh why oh why do you oppose John G.?"



He seems to be hiding the real John G.

And that's an impression held not just by me.
