As Biden heads out the WH door he makes a statement that the 28th Amendment is ratified. This will be a legal battle.
But legal experts contend it isn’t that simple: Ratification deadlines lapsed and five states have rescinded their approval, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s law school, prompting questions about the president’s authority to ratify the amendment more than 50 years after it first passed.
Biden is leaning on the American Bar Association’s opinion, the senior Biden official said, which “stresses that no time limit was included in the text of the Equal Rights Amendment” and “stresses that the Constitution’s framers wisely avoided the chaos that would have resulted if states were able to take back the ratifying votes at any time.”
My opinion is that Trump needs to evaluate what happens if the 28th is ratified. Does it make any difference in 2024? Will it hurt business?

Much ado about nothing? Or, will it open the flood gates to frivolous lawsuits?
