John Legend Panics over Roe Reversal: ‘We’re Teetering on the Brink of Not Being a Full Democracy’

David Ng 16 May 2022

Left-wing pop star John Legend has hit the panic button over the Supreme Court’s likely overturning of Roe v. Wade, wildly proclaiming that “we’re teetering on the brink of not being a democracy.”

In a recent interview with The Guardian, John Legend laid out his doomsday scenario.

“I can’t watch this shit happen and not say something,” John Legend told the British newspaper. “We’re teetering on the brink of not being a full democracy. We’re about to implement The Handmaid’s Tale into law.”

Legend’s assertion that the Supreme Court’s forthcoming decision will imperil democracy is not only unfounded, but it is the exact opposite of what would happen. If the high court overturns Roe, the question of abortion will revert back to the states, who have the power to allow their own residents to vote on the abortion debate — in other words, the essence of democracy.

The pop star recently announced that he and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, will be donating money to abortion charities in order to “fight fo our fellow citizens and democracy.”

How demented a notion of democracy does one need to have to regard returning an issue to the political process, where democratically elected legislatures control its resolution, rather than having the matter decided by un-elected judges, as a threat to democracy?

This is clearly more confirmation of my view that when Democrats say "democracy", they do not mean rule by the δῆμος, they mean rule by Democrats.

Funny... I thought the democratic process to create laws required votes by the people's representatives for it to function...

Instead these idiots think it is people in robes that should set the law of the land with no vote, no law...

They have it exactly backwards...
