The Constitution is unconstitutional.
Check.
What a moron.
And a pen.
These days the Democrats can’t even figure out what a woman is....since they are not biologists ya know....
Lol.
If men are required to be as emotional as some women then there are going to be regrets. Just sayin.

SCOTUS can ‘t define what a woman is anyway.
They don’t even believe in women
I saw this one talking about the drones yesterday. She doesn’t seem real bright.
The push to go full communist and criminal in 30 days is sickening.
Uhhh, the process to amend the Constitution is a wee bit more complicated than a call and a pen.
of what rights are they now deprived?
The seven year deadline ended on March 22, 1979. 35 states approved it before that date and three more votes to approve afterward. But 5 of those states voted to rescind their ratification before March 22, 1979 and one more afterward. So is a date limit allowed within an amendment and can a state rescind its ratification? The text of the Constitution is silent on both.
Gillibrand is pushing feminazi BS!
And any such action by biden won’t save his legacy—as perhaps the worst ever President of the United States!
The DC Clown Show gets funnier and funnier. Not only do they want Biden to pardon everyone in the entire party from any crimes, past, present, or contemplated, they want him to enact Constitutional Amendments with a wave of his mighty wand for good measure. Underlying this is the conviction so dear to progressive hearts that once they get something they want it’s unchangeable and forever. Trump has driven these people nuts.
Ratification windows received the green light from the Supreme Court in 1921 in Dillon v. Gloss and again in 1939 in Coleman v. Miller. Ratification windows are relevant.
The ratification window for the ERA closed on June 1, 1979. The attempt by Congress to extend the ratification window to June 1, 1982 was killed by a federal court in Idaho because Congress used the Legislative Process as defined in Articles I and II rather than the Amendatory Process as defined in Article V. No higher court would take an appeal.
The belated ratifications by Illinois and Virginia were ruled null and void by a 3-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. No one attempted to appeal that decision to the Supreme Court.
The ERA died on June 1, 1979, and the only way it can come back is for its backers start from the beginning and get Congress to approve the amendment proposal by a two thirds vote in each House to send it to the states for ratification. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said so.
Mwanwhile, the Republican party didn’t spend a dime to try to defeat Gillibrand this year.
Don’t forget her father was middle management at NXIVM... the sex trafficking company
Because NYS GOP Chair Ed (Tricia Nixon) Cox was too busy attending uniparty cocktail parties to get a competent candidate and fundraising going.
