Neil Gorsuch nominated to our highest court
His background, his degrees impeccable
His history of rulings causes me much doubt
Republicans will find him quite acceptable
And normally, the Demos wouldn’t thwart their will
As long as he was qualified, which he does meet
But that seat was Obama’s choice, ’twas his to fill
And he chose Merit Garland for Scalia’s seat
Republicans in Congress made it clear
Six years ago, that they would all defeat
Proposals by Obama all those years
Including Garland’s chance to take that seat
It’s payback time. It’s time to take a stance
Just one and forty Senators are needed
To block the vote so Gorsuch can’t advance
And we’ll observe whose wishes were so heeded
