above the law

How long had Feinstein played James Clapper's whore

enabling spies she's paid to oversee?

to serve her voters seemed a dreadful bore

for one of such exalted dignity

But now they've spied on her! should we feign shock?

their files hold dirt on all, both low and high

who might by law have put them in the dock

to pass sentence on their numerous crimes

who watches over the custodians

when oversight's struck blind, and sov'reigns kneel

when Rights refract through Orwellian lens

and PATRIOT's just code for "tyranny"

don't despair yet, let's fight for what we sang

at least until we've seen torturers hang
