I'm feeling feint

John Roberts floats like a butterfly. We will have thirty years or so to know how it feels when he stings like a bee.

Thus we move now from baseball metaphor to boxing — to feint, bob and weave. Bob Bauer (hat tip to The Note) sums it all up in a few lines of doggerel:

Must the Court bless smut and other such vices?
I can't say much but: stare decisis!.

May a President jail any and all in a crisis?
I can't say much but: stare decisis!

Will the Court defer or will it despise us?
I can't say much but: stare decisis!

Is privacy protected in all shapes and sizes?
I can't say much but: stare decisis!

Are your views like Bob Bork's or more like Brandeis'?
I can't say much but: stare decisis!

Will you ever say anything at all to surprise us?
I can't say much but: stare decisis!

Do you still favor term limits — a time when you'll go??
No.
