What Does the Law Say?

"What Does the Law Say?"

Spoof in the style of "What Does the Fox Say?" by Ylvis

For anyone arguing over Constitutional and political conflicts of interest.


(Inspired by friends at USMB and What Does the Fox Say? by Ylvis) 

"What Does the Law Say?"

Roe V Wade - Free Choice claimed
Government - Could not invade.
Freedom of - Reli- gion,
We recite by Amendment One.

Equal Protec - tion of the Laws,
That's the Fourteenth Amendment Clause.
But there's one law - nobody knows:
What DOES that law say?

[Nancy Pelosi]: Ring, ding ding ding, Ding ge-ring ge-ding
[Harry Reid]: Ge-ring, ding ding ding, Ding ge-ring ge-ding
[John Boehner/Ted Cruz]: Ge-ring, ding ding ding, Ding ge-ring ge-ding

What does FOX say?

[NRA headliner and rifles shooting stacks of ACA full of holes]:
Wa-pow pow-pow! Pow, pow-pow!
Pow-pow pow-pow! Pow, pow-pow!!!
Wa-pow pow-pow! Pow, pow-pow!!

What's the Czar say?
[President frowning, shaking head]:
Racis' Haters hafta go!
That Tea Party's gotta go!
Right-wing Crazies gotta go!

What does Rush say?
[preaching on radio mic]:
States have rights! That man's delusional!
Health care choices should be optional!
That whole bill's Unconstitutional!

(That's what I say!)

High Court ruled - it's a tax
That's not how that law got passed
Congress stalled - on the Hill
Government is standing still

The Feds shut down - the benefits
And the protests of our Vets
while Aliens - have equal voice
Whatever happened to free
Choi-o-o-o-oice ... Choi-o-o-o-oice ...
Choi-o-oice ... and a Government that
Repre-se-e-ents ... Citize-e-ens ...
by Conse-e-e-e-ent ...

What does the Law say?

[First Amendment]
Gov'rnment can't mandate religion
Or abridge your right-to petition
Your free speech, or free - press
Or due pro-cess
[Fifth Amendment]

[Origination Clause]
Congress can't impose taxation
Without representation
States can't enforce discrimination
By race, class or creed
[Fourteenth Amendment]

[Thirteenth Amendment]
No unwilling servitude!
Unless punishment is due!
Rich or poor, it's no excuse
For abuses!
[Code of Ethics for Govt Service]

[Second Amendment]
Right to arms can't be infringed
For law-abiding citizens
Or rights reserved - to the States
That make our country great...

Lord of all our laws - Guiding humanity
Remind us of the truth - Come out of hiding
Shine from the clouds - Show your heav'nly face
Shower us with Grace - What would you say

Through our Founding Fathers - rising from their graves
Make us one with God - as equal children:
Equal Justice - Equal rights and Freedom under Law
