When Vague is in Vogue

How odd it is her questioners
Who’ve fretted over empathy,
So much suspect beliefs of hers
Might hinder her ability
To judge according just to fact
A case before our highest court
And, more, to let her past distract
Her thoughts, say, whether to abort.

That’s right. Abortion, gun control.
How on these issues does she stand?
Neutrality, they don’t cajole.
Pro-life, pro-gun they might demand
If in the Senate still they reigned.
But now in a minority
They crave in vain what they've disdained:
A biased legal theory.

Hush, Judge Sonia Sotomayor
Your test’s a case of less is more.
