Two Party Opera by Brian Carroll for November 26, 2019

Love how Kavanaugh is always holding a can of beer. :-)

Marburg v. Madison. When the Supreme Court decided that the Supreme Court would be the decider.

Maybe those MAGA hats should have three tassels on them, a bell on each. Trump and his courtiers are using you all as fools.

And, by the way… NO, HE’S NOT!

My Great-Great-Great-Great…Grandfather on my Mother’s side was Chief Justice Marshall. Your portrayal is spot on Brian, thank you!

I think some people weren’t paying attention to “Schoolhouse Rock” and the “No More King” song…..

No, not a king — but there is another card in the deck that comes to mind…

Wait! No nuance! The answer is “no”!!!! OY!!!

Sarcasm from Carroll? Heaven forfend! :)

1 Samuel 8:

Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel ….said to him, “Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”

But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the Lord.

And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me”

He sure THINKS he is

At the end of the Roman Republic, a place where the notion of a king was anathema, a couple of guys made themselves “Dictator for Life.” Classless Donald would settle for that, or even CEO for Life, with Congress as the Board of Directors. All, of course, a wholly owned subsidiary of Putin Productions…

(Oh, yeah, the Dictator for Life thing didn’t work out so well for the second guy, when his enemies had a stab at him.)

And Andrew Jackson said, “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” Has anything changed? Well, yes. For Jackson, war and politics were never about him.
