Sandra Day’s Lasting Presence,
Sandra Day’s Lasting Presence,
So important civil justice victory,
Justice O’Connor, in her legacy.
Rightward motion, far too swift,
Legacy severely undermined, adrift.
Undermined by radical new rightward shift,
Though Justice O’Connor still lingers, adrift.
Great legacy disregarded too quickly,
Dismissal of rights and policies,
Democrats objection rejected, please.
Rejected by the rightward shift,
Dissented by Justice O’Connor’s gift.
Jurisdiction, to her, is quite clear,
Justice O’Connor’s lasting presence still lingers here.
