Alyssa Milano: I don't have equal rights under the Constitution -- yet (mega barf alert)
CNN ^ | 10/5/2018 | Alyssa Milano

Posted on 10/08/2018 7:06:23 PM PDT by simpson96

"My name is Alyssa Milano, and I do not have equal rights under our Constitution. I have a three-year-old daughter named Bella. She does not have equal rights under the Constitution, either."

This is how I began my testimony at a Congressional shadow hearing on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) just a few months ago. At that point, I didn't think it could be possible to feel more urgency about insisting that women be protected in our government's highest legal document, the US Constitution. I was wrong.

Now, as I watch Brett Kavanaugh's likely ascension to the Supreme Court, it feels like a new kind of violation, proving we need an Equal Rights Amendment so that our justice system has the tools to treat women equally under the law.

Our country has allowed men like Brett Kavanaugh to use our founding documents to preserve their power and privilege, while denying women protection from the consequences of their actions. That is because, for most of our country's history, the Constitution has treated anyone who is not a white, land-owning man to be a second-class citizen -- a legacy the document has yet to shed.

(snip)

I am not asserting that Brett Kavanaugh opposes constitutional equality for women and men, but then again, I do not know. And his actions, I do not trust.

What I do know -- what all of us have seen proven beyond a doubt -- is that our country's 200-plus-year history of subjugating women has come at a devastating price. In recent months, we've heard an outpouring of firsthand accounts about what life as a second-class citizen in this country is like.

Alyssa Milano proves to the world why you should never give a microphone to utterly stupid people.

How the hell are women not being treated equally under the law?

This brainless twit has a net worth of $10 million. Yet, she wants to pass herself off as an oppressed victim?

It's just more proof that liberals can't function if they don't perceive themselves to be victims.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call her a child star.

Child actor on a 2nd rate sitcom yes, 3rd banana behind the 2 adult actors.

She is decidedly a DIMWIT. Too bad she’s already reproduced.

I feel sorry for that poor old soul. She looks like she is in pain all the time, and at her age that is quite possible.

More blanket allegations without specifics. She, like most liberals, confuse equality under the law with equality of outcome. In their world there should be more women in positions of authority since there are more women in the world than men. And the government exists to guarantee equal outcomes despite that pesky, outdated document known as the Constitution.
