Rules for lawyers:

Never try a divorce case 

on the day the judge 

fought with his wife.

Never try a disability case

before an alcoholic judge.

These are the usual rules

when trying to maintain impartiality

to reach a decision consistent with the law

and not flawed by human will

which should be set aside

to follow the dictum of this land

that no man is above the law.

The law is turned on its head

by Judge Cannon and her MAGA crew.

Attorneys of good will and sound ethics

now face  bending of these rules:

Never try a criminal case

when the criminal conspires with the judge.

Never try an emergency order

before a judge intent on delay.

No judge forum shopping is allowed.

So find a court where the only choice

is a judge the criminal appointed.

Judicial impartiality is a rule

oft’ influenced, it is true, by experience and inclination,

but not by partiality, blind to the rule of law 

instead of impartial justice;

but not by a judge who rules

before the evidence is even given,

but not by a judge who rules

that the man who gave her her job

is above the law she pledged herself to.

How can a judge be allowed to sit

in a court where law is not followed

and where blatant disrule becomes the rule?

Impartial judges sew the threads

holding the law together. 

Judges who put down the needle

and rip the fabric of law

can destroy justice for us all.

Tearing apart the fabric of law

will leave us all naked,

vulnerable to autocratic rule.
