Original Title: Feminists and Democrats Say Justice Scalia’s Remarks Make Passing Constitutional Amendment for Women’s Rights Essential

[MrB]

Do they really understand how assinine it is to try to “outlaw discrimination”?

Do they want to be forced to date every man that asks them out, or asks for sex?

Wow, what a novel idea - introducing an Equal Rights Amendment:

"The ERA was written in 1923 by Alice Paul, suffragist leader and founder of the National Woman's Party. She and the NWP considered the ERA to be the next necessary step after the 19th Amendment (affirming women's right to vote) in guaranteeing "equal justice under law" to all citizens.

The ERA was introduced into every session of Congress between 1923 and 1972, when it was passed and sent to the states for ratification. The seven-year time limit in the ERA's proposing clause was extended by Congress to June 30, 1982, but at the deadline, the ERA had been ratified by 35 states, leaving it three states short of the 38 required for ratification. It has been reintroduced into every Congress since that time."

“We are way past due for a constitutional amendment explicitly acknowledging women’s rights in the United States,” O’Neill said. “Nothing less will do, as long as sexists like Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia feel completely justified interpreting women’s rights as unprotected in the U.S. Constitution.”

Psst, girls. Men's rights are equally unprotected.

“Justice Scalia has said that women have no rights,” said Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.),

Simply amazing that these liars aren't immediately called on it.

Scalia said no such thing - he merely stated that the Constitution does not specifically address it. That means it is an issue that the States/People can decide.

I attend a Tuesday morning Bible Class. The last 5 or 6 books we’ve studied, mostly useless, have been by women.

Now, we’re supposed to study this book that’s a feminist look at women in the Bible.

The author got so mad at the apostle Paul when she was a teen, she cut some of his passages out of her Bible. Apparently, she hasn’t got past it. She decries people ‘like Rush Limbaugh’ and quotes Alan Alda as an authority on feminism.

But I did learn one thing. I’m planning to cut her introduction out of the book.

Guess what denomination I belong to.

OMG, are we back to where the loons were just funny or is this window dressing hoping we will waste energy on this fake issue BS rather than taking down the Regime?

If any Republican legislators have a little idle time, they might put through a quick resolution to rescind the ERA if their State previously passed it. Just slip it in between bills on a Friday evening.

Why was this NOT an issue when the ‘Rats were taking over the auto industry, the banks, the health care industry, etc. ?

Why is it such a burning issue NOW ?
