House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said on Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that if the Supreme Court can overturn Roe v. Wade, then “democracy can fall.”
Jeffries said, “It’s important for the American people to understand that if Roe v. Wade can fall, anything can fall. Social Security itself can fall. Medicare can fall. The Affordable Care Act can fall. Democracy can fall. Brown v. Board of Education can fall, as Justice Thomas made clear in his concurring observation and opinion yesterday. So, everything we care about is going to be on the ballot in November. Including getting the federal judiciary into a place where it can actually administer the law and make decisions in a fair and impartial fashion, not lead an ideological effort to jam their right-wing views down the throats of the American people.”

“Including getting the federal judiciary into a place where it can actually administer the law and make decisions in a fair and impartial fashion, not lead an ideological effort to jam their right-wing views down the throats of the American people.”
Talk about a case of accusing others of what you yourself are doing. The conservatives are not imposing “right wing views” on anyone...they simply rule that Left wing views cannot be forced on people. Same cannot be said for Leftist judges.
So we didn’t have “democracy” before Roe v. Wade...which didn’t come around until the 1970s?
Democracy = communism
The democratic form of government is a white concept. I want him to stop appropriating white male culture.
If the USSC didn’t overturn Jim Crow laws this assclown wouldn’t be in DC
Democracy along with universal suffrage (Female suffrage is bad enough with a lot of primary sources/history destroying societies through a gynocratic centered focus before the late 19th century backing that up) is the worst form of a political system within civilization. Evil men (And women now) just manipulated fish in a barrel through emotion/synapses before deciding when to easily dispose of them (Dictatorship of the proletariat will never happen but these “smart” barbarians do love their Engels/Marx fecal smothered “hope”).
“The Affordable Care Act can fall.”
Not until the GOPe is destroyed so probably won’t happen, ever. Besides, Jeffries is the minority leader in name only after the not-so-secret power sharing agreement with that sellout puke Johnson. Those two corrupt fools wouldn’t know a republic if slapped them in the face, Xiden, the left, MSM, the three-letter agencies and a cast of millions prefer ‘democracy’ because it is winner take all.

Justice Alito
It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives. “The permissibility of abortion, and the limitations, upon it, are to be resolved like most important questions in our democracy: by citizens trying to persuade one another and then voting.” Casey, 505 U. S., at 979 (Scalia, J., concurring in judgment in part and dissenting in part). That is what the Constitution and the rule of law demand.
Democracy is a system of agitated, impressionable mob action by which they attack and destroy someone with whom they disagree.
“The biggest argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with any voter.”
-—Winston Churchill
This issue is the biggest obstacle we have to electing sane politicians. Let them snuff out their foul spawn. IMHO, they are doing the world a favor.
Dear Hakeem:
We’re not a democracy, dickhead.
Sincerely,
CC
I believe the DemonKKKrats mentality goes back to the Confederacy. With their cult of human slavery, does one think they had were ever on board with these words?:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”
Today’s DemonKKKrats want a tyranny of the elite (i.e. plantation owners) and a form of social control known as an oligarchy which is steeped in corruption. The common man becomes a slave and life is as cheap as the unborn child in the womb. That “life is cheap” mentality is what motivated the Hamas to commit the most inhuman atrocities as well as what motivated the Nazis under Hitler.
This is not a Democracy.
So Row v Wade was good law, huh Hakeem? That just shows you know nothing about law, you frikkin’ idiot.
It’s the ECONOMY, not the UTERUS, stupid!
I’ll remind Jefferies that the right to murder the unborn is NOT a constitutional right, and never was. Narrow are the conditions in which abortion would be acceptable. Very narrow.
"That one" is a pea brain, a follower, definitely not a leader.
Roe v Wade erased the democratically enacted laws of several states, with no basis for that decision in the Constitution. One of the worst examples of judicial overreach in our nation’s history.
Two wolfs and a sheep, etc.
I hope democracy does fail. I’ll take our Republic any day!
2. Even by the left's loose definition of democracy, all of their favorite programs could be eliminated by a vote of Congress with a majority of one and signature of the President. But I expect that they would squeal that isn't what they mean by "their democracy", just like "democracy" is threatened if Trump wins a big majority of both the popular and electoral votes and is this reelected president.
