Washington (CNN)Three attorneys general of states that recently ratified the Equal Rights Amendment are suing to have the amendment added to the Constitution, challenging a Justice Department opinion that the deadline for passage expired decades ago.
In a complaint filed Thursday, the attorneys general of Virginia, Illinois and Nevada are asking the US District Court in Washington, DC, to force the archivist of the United States, who administers the ratification process, to "carry out his statutory duty of recognizing the complete and final adoption" of the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. The ERA would ban discrimination on the basis of sex and guarantee equality for women under the Constitution.

But at least we know who and what they are - lawless enemies of this Nation.
UnEqual Rights Amendment
True. But still the substance isn’t at issue here. The process is invalid, having expired as WRITTEN.
The Three Top ‘RATs. Moe, Larry and Curley.
Since when has the Constitution mattered to Democrats?
Appaarently these attorneys don’t understand the process for amending the Constitution.
Must be Harvard law school grads.
NOW v. Idaho was appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals and to the Supreme Court, neither of which was willing to grant cert, i.e., hear the case. What this suit is requesting is that the Supreme Court overturn its 1921 ruling in Dillon v. Gloss, the case that established Congress' relationship to the amendatory process. Such a ruling would throw the amendatory process into complete and utter constitutional chaos, which is why this case will never get to the Supreme Court.
We already have Equal Rights. What they want is a few extra rights for some people.
The lying, robbing, and totally immoral Rats don’t need no stinkin’ rules.
Not enough votes?
Extend the voting hours and bus some more in.
Constitution.
What the hell is dat?
CW-II is most definitely in our future.
“Harvard law school “
The dreaded mega oxymoron.
What they are argung is flawed.
Congress has total rights to decide a time limit on amendments. Or whether an amendment has time limits ormit doesn’t. this one did have a time limit, set lawfully by congress.
“We already have Equal Rights. What they want is a few extra rights for some people.”
You mean “special rights”? It’s not enough for these leftard pukes.
They’re just staking out a position so that the next time (God forbid) we get a 5-4 Left majority on SCOTUS they’ll be in a position to just deem it passed.
Why do they waste our time and money this way? If they wish they can just propose their amendment and it would have a good chance of passing imho
These people are so challenged.
It’s about unrestricted abortion and nothing else. Dead babies have been very, very, good to the Democrats.
That majority is a “slip” in the bathtub or another heart attack without an autopsy away.
In fact, had Cankles been elected I’m betting a few accidents would have happened by now.
The Equal Rights Amendment refers to sex not gender. So, take that those of you who think that gender matters.
This stupid thing has been around almost 100 years. Been up and defeated so many times that it’s lost it’s number.
Nope Not Harvard, but probably the LaSalle University School of Law that used to be advertised on matchbooks.
Mark Herring, as the Virginia Attorney General, has written some bizarre opinions that go counter to any logical arguments.
He is career politician who is running to be the next governor of Virginia and a panderer of any left-wing cause.
God help the Commonwealth!
