President Joe Biden released a statement Friday declaring that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) “has become part of our Constitution.”

Biden asserted that as of 2020, 38 states have ratified the amendment and stated it should now be recognized as “the law of the land,” according to a White House press release. The amendment is meant to ensure equal rights for men and women in the U.S., but some interpretations of the text have implied it would erase gender distinctions and grant abortion protections.

Um............that's not how amendments are passed Joe

No matter, no rules, just democrats once again doing whatever the hell they want.
 
So, 38 states did ratify the ERA but not before the deadline. That's one reason why it did not become an amendment to the Constitution. The other reason is that 6 states, Idaho, Kentucky, Nebraska, Tennessee, and South Dakota, first ratified the ERA amendment but later voted to rescind or otherwise withdraw their approval by the 1979 deadline. The deadline is dead a long time ago. If they want to try again, they can. Right now, they would not get more than 7 or 8 states to ratify it.
 
Equal rights, no problem. But don´t they act as if Trump is actually going to change something?
 
If the amendment itself didn't have a clause placing a time limit on its passage, he might have a point. However, it does, so the ERA is still not of any force or effect. Congress would have to pass a new ERA for submission to the states that didn't have such a restriction. I also wish that revoking a state's ratification could be disallowed given the extreme difficulty in passing amendments, but that is not how it works.
 
There isn't a required constitutional time limit in the constitution for ratifying amendments, which is being reported....so it is ratified?

I'm actually proud of Joe for remembering we're the United States and we have a Constitution! And he did it without help from a teleprompter! You go Joe! Extra ice cream for you tonight! :)

The bill enacting the Amendment had the time limit written in, it is a normal.

Also, 5 states have unratified it. But naturally the left will scream, they can't do that.

It seems quite clear that no one took that cut off date seriously in the States since the constitution gives no time limit to ratify an amendment, otherwise the states would not have continued to ratify it by their state legislators over the decades past the man made, forced, cut off.

Several of those idiot states sued in 2021, lost in the District Court in DC, appealed the ruling to the Circuit Court and lost in 2023.

It's dead, Jim.

He's trying to single handedly save the "leftist agenda", and this before he walks and/or stumbles out of the oval office door.

But wait, just wait one minute here, because I thought that old senile Joe was totally and mentally incompetent remember everybody ???? Yet he can purposely do all of this crazy by being called crazy ???

Yes unfortunately as we are seeing with our own two eyes, that Joe Biden very much can fool everyone with his oldman act, and so while we are feeling sorry for old Joe, he is attempting to do as much damage as possible because he's crazy like a fox is what that old geezer is.

Well, they can not, take away their ratification....that's just simple logic....

The court system will have the final say.

Why are you so against women having equal rights to men?

What the hell are equal rights?
 
Past monday, nobody needs listen to a thing this fool says....~S~
Yep, Bidens disastrous reign of immoral pandering and baiting will end up in the nations lost history books category forever hopefully.

It's whatever Democrat's choose for them to be, and it mostly depends on the movement of the moon as it passes between the sun and the earth on any given day that they choose for it to do so. Has nothing to do with character, standards set or agreements made. It's whatever they think will ultimately benefit their power over the people when it's obvious that they don't deserve it.

Pandering, baiting, and the illegal use of the United State's treasury is all that they have, but it's been enough for them to cause tremendous strife and chaos in this country.
