They can’t do that. It’s expired. A former congress set that deadline, a future one can’t override their deadline.

This is m-f ridiculous.

Expired.

So, change the rules. Change history. Blame males. What else is new?

Not being allowed to kill babies by abortion could interfere with the woman’s rights and busy feminist lifestyle or the man’s career and fun time schedule.

Rights for the babies? Sorry, they don’t vote.

Rules are for Republicans. [/sarc]

Even the Notorious RBG knows the ERA is dead. The House Democrats are insane. Fortunately, this bill will go nowhere in the Senate.

There are currently two lawsuits on this issue: one asking for a judge to confirm the ERA is dead, the other to rule that it has become the 28th Amendment. Now we can't even agree on the number of amendments there are in the Constitution. The Left is lawless.

It’s settled law now.

They are 1 justice away from letting everyone know.
This is historic

Something to do with “No ex-post facto law shall obtain”...

The point is to create legal chaos and pander to their base. They know it will not be passed or signed, or upheld by the court.

Sure it could, but with some restrictions. Once the deadline passes, all the current votes are expired. so the board is currently wiped clear anyway, they would need to pass the extension before the deadline passed. Secondly, being as how it's a Copnstitutional amendment, the deadline extension would need to follow the same rules, you can't just pass it with a 51% vote in Congress, the extension would have to go through all the State ratifications as well, which would be separate from passing the actual amendment.
