Riding the Scales
rules must be made for both sides - Libraic scales mind equilibrium
equal length
pan holders - no unfair weights, no pandering
justice must not take sides
judges should not be stuck in pockets; moneywise
dressed - for success, not their own
scales are not a see-saw, not a slide
papers read the same in each pan
a woman is a woman, a man is a man
both seek truth; liberty is watching
remember well the book on their heads; straight backs
Congress and Senate stay within their own branch
powers are kept separate
sound minds prevail
if a party’s at its precipice, what happens when the weights released?
