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.
