Wade. \u201cWe don\u2019t live in a democracy anymore,\u201d the comedian bizarrely concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court is expected to rule shortly on&nbsp;Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health,&nbsp; which concerns a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The decision could result in the overturning of the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade if the justices decide to uphold the Mississippi law.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>On Thursday\u2019s broadcast, Stephen Colbert used his monologue, titled \u201cSupreme Stench,\u201d to flaunt his pro-abortion beliefs as well as his apparent ignorance of how federalism works. The comedian cited Justice&nbsp;Sonia Sotomayor, who has argued the case is only now being challenged to take advantage of former President Donald Trump\u2019s recent court appointees.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert also cited a poll conducted by <em>The Washington Post<\/em> and ABC News claiming&nbsp;only 27 percent of Americans want to see Roe overturned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s more than two to one. So if it is this unpopular, why is everyone saying it\u2019s gonna happen? Well, I don\u2019t want to get too technical, but \u2014 what\u2019s the word \u2014 we don\u2019t live in a democracy,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><em><strong>Watch below:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"It&#039;s Looking Rough For Roe | Tracking Omicron From &#039;Moronic&#039; To &#039;No Crimbo&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-g_Y0N6kxQ?start=41&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive of the nine justices were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote, the last three confirmed by a Republican Senate who now represent 41 million fewer Americans than the Democrats. In fact, Republican senators haven\u2019t represented a majority of the U.S. population since 1996.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that a lot has changed since 1996. \u201cBack then, the Oscar for best supporting actor went to Kevin Spacey, and the best director was Mel Gibson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the monologue, Colbert mocked Justices Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh,&nbsp;and Chief Justice John Roberts \u2014 all of whom were appointed by Republican presidents.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Colbert joins a growing list of celebrities who have weighed in on the Supreme Court case, almost all on the pro-abortion camp.
