This had a clear and explicit deadline to get votes.

It failed.

This is the equivalent of Hillary in amendment form.

Further since when have any liberal socialists allowed laws or amendments they dont like to be enacted past expired, explicit deadlines to ratify?

Never.

Case closed.

I thought the time for ratification had passed. But I wouldn't hold my breath on this in light of how SCOTUS has voted on some key issues in the past couple of years.

Correct. The proposed amendment expired back in 1979. And its time extension is clearly unconstitutional. If Congress wants to give the EPA another run, it must pass a new proposed amendment by a 2/3 majority vote. Congress cannot legally do what it did, modify an amendment by a simple majority vote.

The big question is whether or not the Supreme Court will see it that way.
