Feb 8 is when the Supremes
Will hear oral debate
On the Orange Huckster
And the insurrection clause
Of the Fourteenth Amendment
So hold the date
The Supremes probably won’t decide
That the Amendment alone
Puts the Huckster in
A no-ballot zone
For one thing
There’s been no formal finding
That an insurrection took place
Although most rational observers
Might think that’s the case
Such a finding might be made
In other cases pending
But as of the moment its absence
Might be legally controlling
At least for Supremes
Looking for ways of delaying or avoiding
Will hear oral debate
