The D.T. Playbook: Chapter 5 (Supreme Court Confirmations)

Promise to nominate a judge

Who will reverse previous decisions.

Relish the opportunity

To fan the flames of people's divisions.

Refuse to provide the senators

With all of the documents that they need

To allow for careful, researched judgment.

Your nominee will be guaranteed.

Be sure the person you nominate

Will have your back if things get hairy.

Agreeing that you're above the law

Is absolutely necessary.

Let ideology be

The key factor for stacking the Court.

Your starry-eyed supporters will

Give you their undying support.

Train your nominee to behave

Just like you when at a hearing.

Your base will consequently find

The person even more endearing.

If any dirt might come up,

Limit the background investigation

To make it essentially a sham.

And lie without reservation.

Persuade Republicans in Congress

To sycophantly do your bidding.

You scratch their backs; they'll scratch yours.

Works like a charm. I'm not kidding!

Belittle dissenters. People who don't

Support you, you humiliate.

Stick to this plan, for that's how you

Are going to make this country great.
