Former President Clinton is slamming the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, saying it contributes to putting “democracy at risk” and calling the high court “radical” and “activist.”
“This decision puts partisanship ahead of precedent, ideology ahead of evidence, and the power of a small minority ahead of the clear will of the people,” Clinton said in a statement on Friday.
“This jarring removal of rights that had long been guaranteed, along with decisions gutting the Voting Rights Act and abolishing any judicial remedy for admittedly unconstitutional gerrymandering by state legislatures and abuses of power by federal authorities

So, we should just live with bad decisions by SCOTUS? Bring back the abomination of Dreed-Scott?
What a ridiculous statement by the former rapist-in-chief.

Who overturned his rock? He's been dead silent ever since Epstein was arrested and subsequently murdered.

100% WRONG! Now the people’s representatives get to vote on the law in each state. The decision leads to MORE democracy.

To both Bonnie and Clyde Clinton, "our democracy at risk"---- get that, "our democracy"-- means anything they don't agree with. For the both of them, it's my way or the highway. Totalitarian, authoritarian, intolerant, which describes Bonnie especially.

How is overturning an arbitrary ruling by an unelected body not answerable to voters AND returning that issue to voters and state legislatures a "threat to democracy"?

I still remember the media hounding Reagan over a supposed anti-abortion "litmus test" for Supreme Court justices. When Clinton ran, he said he actually had one, but for abortion. The press thought that was great.

Threat to our Democracy?
First of all, it's a representative Republic.
But.... talking about Threats to America:
Before The HornDog, the Chinese could not get a big rocket well off the ground, much less into orbit.
The HornDog changed the export controls for the guidance systems from the Defense department to the Commerce department..... who promptly sold the satellite-launch rocket guidance systems to the ChiComs 'to lower the cost of putting satellites into orbit'.
In other words, enabling the Chinese Communists to undercut Boeing, North American Rockwell, Lockheed, and the other American rocket makers. And oh, just by the way, those SAME guidance systems, with a bit of reprogramming, can now guide Chinese Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles right onto American cities.
But what warhead to put onto them?
The HornDog fixed that also..... by 'encouraging' scientific 'exchanges' between American and Chinese science agencies, he forced the Los Alamos lab (where our atomic warheads are designed) to accept Chinese 'exchange' scientists. At the same time, his 'minority' Energy Secretary (some woman who's name I do not recall) made a big fuss about the color-coded security access badges at Los Alamos, calling them 'RAAACCCCIIIISSSSSTTT' and prohibiting the color coding. This made it a LOT easier for the ChiCom exchange scientists to get into the most secure areas of Los Alamos.
Then gee, (by MAGIC, I tell ya!) within a year or so I read that the ChiComs had obtained and copied the designs for the W87 and W88 atomic warheads, the most advanced ones in the American arsenal at the time.
So, the ChiComs are now manufacturing ICBM's with American designed guidance systems and American-designed multiple atomic warheads..... and all it cost them was a measly few million$ in 'contributions' to the Clinton Global Initiative (or whatever scam the Clintons were running at the time.)
You want to talk about Threats to our 'Democracy'?
THAT'S IT, RIGHT THERE!

When demonrats speak of “democracy” it is a code word for “democrat party power”. So I guess he’s right this time. Twenty-five states (so far) are either banning abortion or putting more limits on it. And that definitely puts democrat party power at risk.

Read your constitution Bubba, this simply passes the issue back to the states, which is where it should have stayed in the first place. Besides, you are one of the prime practitioners of the ''Roe v Wade lets me get laid'' promiscuous behavior lifestyle. Bonnie and Clyde Clinton is a great description of those two varmints, stealing everything that isn't locked away. My decoder ring says that for the Clintons, democracy is anything that disagrees with or impedes their agenda.

The beauty of a constitutional republic, where the powers of the federal government is limited is that "democracy" works better at the local level. Mandates from Congress where the 13 largest states has a majority in Congress gets to dictate to the other 37. Or, one party or the other dictate to the other half.
The founders endeavored to protect the rights of the minority, thus a limited republic. Democracy is by definition mob rule. Or two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner. A democracy is just about the worst form of government imaginable without an informed, educated and reasoned electorate.

It was hazel Oleary who was Sec of Energy appointed by Bill clinton that did away with most security clearances as they were deemed racist by her. ( she was black) I worked a the Hanford Engineering Development Lab in Richand WA during her tenure. Shortly after doing away with the clearances we had many Russians tour the facilities.

Oh you of seemingly syphilitic brain. We have (struggling to keep) a Constitutional Republic, not a pure democracy which you and your comrades dream of. "Pure democracies" are the stuff of tyrannical states.

Says the Predator in Chief who left a string of assaulted women behind him and was a close pal to Epstein. Better put some ice on that BJ. And BTW, "our democracy", a phrase often quoted lately by desperate dems, means "government as constituted by Progressives that stand outside of Constitutional law". THAT is the real threat to our REPUBLIC.
The SCOTUS FINALLY pointed out the simple truth that the federal government has limited, enumerated powers and that control of abortion was NOT in the list. From the beginning, our government structure puts all Constitutionally unenumerated legal issues in the hands of the states. The SCOTUS has been running roughshod on such issues for decades and has FINALLY, in the hands of Justices that recognize and accept the limitations placed on them by the Constitution, officially recognized that.
This highlights the CRITICAL importance of having a CONSERVATIVE judiciary that holds to Constitutional limits placed on the federal government, including the courts. Further, such Federal Justices should also recognize that their role is not to MAKE law but to judge adherence to laws passed by the Congress and the Constitutionality of such laws.

I am beginning to hate the word democracy. Democracy is mob rule. We live in a Constitutional Republic. Clinton should know this. We vote on an issue and our representatives are to go to Washington to make our voices heard. That’s the way it should work. Unfortunately, many representatives ignore the will of the people and vote according to their own agenda.
Nevertheless, this decision was a victory for life today. The country is changing its view on this barbaric act and democrats know it. They are desperate to save PP because it is a gold mine and one of the most prolific money laundering organizations in the country. Think about all the donations that are going to dry up. This is all about money. Democrats use murder as a way to generate contributions. They pour money into the PP and money flows right back out to them. This ghastly practice is horrifying but it does perfectly reflect the lack of morals, decency, and inhumanity that drives the democrat party.

We don’t have a democracy but the word creates more drama when liberal politicians use it to scare people. What’s most alarming about this decision is the number of totally ignorant people who think the Supreme Court’s job is the same as the Legislature’s and that they should somehow be ruling based on public opinion. Roe v Wade has been illegitimate constitutional law from the beginning.
