He was liked by many people with whom he still disagreed
One of his close friends they say was the notorious RBG
But I can never forgive his toxic poison bile
Even if he delivered it with such a smile
Antonin Scalia, you can rot you know where
Antonin Scalia we are better without you here
His mantra, he said, was the original intent of the framers
Of the constitution, but that’s a view that needs a lot of disclaimers
Corporations were not people in the Founding father’s vision
But he said they were in the ‘Citizens United’ decision
Antonin Scalia you can rot you know where
Antonin Scalia we are better without you here
Abortion’s wrong but the death penalty is fine, he declared
Even for a 15-year-old, or someone mentally impaired
He said that Miranda rights were not worth preserving
And that gays can’t get married ‘cause they are not really deserving
Antonin Scalia you can rot you know where
Antonin Scalia we are better without you here
Now the Republicans are saying they will not confirm
Any Obama pick at all for the year left in his term
There’s a Constitution that governs these things
A different tune those right wingers now want to sing
The Republican Senate leaders can rot you know where
And Antonin Scalia we are better without you here
