More “kicking against the pricks.” Just like their impeachment effort will fail, this will fail.

But at least we know who and what they are - lawless enemies of this Nation.

Appaarently these attorneys don’t understand the process for amending the Constitution.

Must be Harvard law school grads.

[Publius]

In NOW v. Idaho, a federal district court ruled that the ratification window for the ERA closed in March 1979. Congress' attempt to extend the ratification window to 1982 was unconstitutional because Congress used the legislative process, not the amendatory process as the Constitution requires. Should Congress wish to revive the ERA, it will have to resubmit it to the states for ratification by a two thirds vote of the House and Senate.

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.

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.

[Secret Agent Man]

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.

[faithhopecharity]

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

[DoughtyOne]

Do the demoⁿcRats ever follow the laws of the land?

These people are so challenged.

[lastchance]

It’s about unrestricted abortion and nothing else. Dead babies have been very, very, good to the Democrats.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

This stupid thing has been around almost 100 years. Been up and defeated so many times that it’s lost it’s number.

[montag813]

challenging a Justice Department opinion that the deadline for passage expired decades ago.

OPINION??? It's written right in the damn text of the thing!

[sphinx]

Just like their impeachment effort will fail, this will fail.

For now. But eventually, there will be another liberal majority on the Supreme Court. The ERA may have lain dormant another 20 years, but a test case will be ginned up the moment a 5th liberal judge is confirmed. A liberal majority will deem it ratified. And the entire press will echo all 100 verses of "established law of the land."

[SkyDancer]

We all have equal rights under the Constitution.

[Thank You Rush]

Not this again.........

[glasseye]

Just more evidence of democrats thinking laws do not apply to them.
Lord knows I despise those amoral degenerates.

[Robert DeLong]

It will fail because you cannot alter the Constitution through the courts.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Several states sued in December to block the ERA, citing that they, and other states, had rescinded their approval and could not be counted, even if a court decided that a time limit was not allowed.

I don’t particularly mind the possibility that an amendment runs forever, if a state is allowed to rescind their approval before the last state ratifies.

We have had amendments that lasted centuries, the 27th amendment, which started in 1789 and got the last necessary state in 1992.

[mjp]

rights for collectives are false rights

[kaehurowing]

Just so you understand, the whole point of this is to target Christians for not accepting the LGBTQIXYTZ agenda. They will use this to persecute Christians and put them in the camps.

[SharpRightTurn]

Cue the “not this ____ again” picture.
