Pray this Unconstitutional Amendment will be killed in the Supreme Court if-and-when the occasion is presented to retroactively extend the time deadline of the ERA.

[a fool in paradise]

Symbolic yet historic, blah blah blah...

[robroys woman]

Pray this Unconstitutional Amendment will be killed...
I don’t think a constitutional amendment can be declared unconstitutional.

Gimmick for the ladies’ vote

Just like it was back in the days

Dims treat women like stupids

Just like they do minorities and Millennials

And welfare staters

“Y’all are too stupid to recognize our Con Game”

If you want to know what a nightmare this would be just look how Title IX has been implement in the university system.

I remember when the ERA was touted. The proponents swore up and down it would NOT lead to men being allowed to use women's restrooms. OH, WAIT!....

[Dilbert San Diego]

Another issue seldom talked about, is that some states rescinded their ratifications of the ERA during the seven year window for consideration of the amendment.

To say that Illinois is the 37th state to ratify ignores those recission votes.

That issue could be hashed out in court, as to whether a state can legally rescind a ratification of an amendment.

[Artemis Webb]

I’m confused.

If the ERA was dead in 1982 how is it we’re still counting votes?

Note that the Amendment prevents discrimination on the basis of sex (a biological state), not gender (a social construct).

[Bob434]

we,ve gone from a country that makes history to one where we now3 distort history (and our constitution)

[libertylover]

While the vote may be symbolic — the country needs one more state to ratify the amendment — the state’s passage creates a window of opportunity for the embattled constitutional amendment. The state is where the efforts seized in 1982. Only 35 of the necessary 38 states ratified the amendment before the 1979 deadline.

I guess they don't know the meaning of the word "deadline".

[Bubba_Leroy]

The ERA was rejected so the Supreme Court just pretended that it was there all along, hidden somewhere in the emanations from penumbra.

The Constitution now says whatever the hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices want it to say.

[RinaseaofDs]

Will the ladies also be signing up for selective service?

Perhaps it isn’t as equal an amendment as they’d anticipated.

[Publius]

The ERA died in 1979. Period. Full stop. This is nothing more than virtue signaling.

The federal courts already ruled on this in 1982.

[jeffersondem]

The ERA was for three purposes:

To put women in foxholes.

To put men into women's restrooms.

To destroy marriage.

When the ERA failed, proponents decided to do work-arounds.

It took a little longer, but the left has achieved everything they wanted from the ERA effort.
