A Prescription Drug Pushing Shrink Arrives At The Pearly Gates Poem by O Anna Niemus

An author has written a version of a
joke passed around in the hallways
of federal courtrooms.

A CEO arrives at the pearly gates,
irate that his life was ended so soon.
St Peter tries to mollify him, saying
'It's God.. he thinks he's a federal
judge.'.

*********

In actuality, in the US plutocracy,
federal judges can do the voir dire
questioning and eliminate
many from jury selection,
can set aside a jury verdict,
and can require in class action
lawsuits, a unanimous verdict,
whereas the unelected members
of the Supreme Court need only
4 or 5 votes to gavel down
their decisions in favor of
baby bombers and megathieves.

(In some instances, a 4 to 3 verdict
has been rendered.)
