ERA raised from the dead last year in the Illinois House. It has been turned back 14 times in Illinois.
Boomers and older are familiar with ERA, but younger generations don’t have a clue about it. Just having MARK KIRK introduce a resolution to remove the ratification deadline for the Equal Rights Amendment shows we must always be vigilant.

No, it wasn't raised from the dead. It died in 1979. Period. Any ratification by any state post-1979 is invalid because it occurred after the window closed. The Archivist of the United States will not accept and tally any ratification from any state on the ERA after the 1982 court ruling.
You've posted on this issue before. Stop wasting your time worrying about it. The votes aren't there to revive it. It's dead.
