The idea of a judge with sympathy
terrifies Senate Republicans.
Like jam on an English muffin, understanding
could spread through the Supreme Court,
filling all the nooks and crannies
with sticky liberal goodness.

They think that might undermine
current strict constructionists,
who keep individuals from trampling
the rights of institutions,
by giving them another chance
to compare sweet with sour.
