So, now it needs to be ratified by the states again.

They cant get two thirds to pass the ERA again today. It would never pass both the House and Senate.
Good luck trying to get 38 states to ratify it.

That's what the measuse aims to avoid. It is a retroactive rewrite of the original proposition.
See too, perpetual licenses, licens that expressly say on them "good for life," being retroactively rewritten to have an expiration.
Governments are fundamentally dishonest. NOTHING they say or promise is "good word."

Oh no. They are trying to retroactively say that it is now ratified. The original had a 7-year time limit on ratification. When it failed to be ratified, Congress passed a 3-year extensionbut not be 2/3rds majority. Even with the constitutionally questionable extension, it again failed. VA became the 38th state to “ratify” the dead ERA and now dems are trying to bring it back to life, in spite of the fact that several states withdrew their ratificationwhich dems, of course say they can’t do.
They are very good at not only changing the rules while the game is being played but trying to change the rules after they’ve lost the game. See their ongoing attempts to overrule the election of 2016 for example.
