It is crazy that they thought they could just resurrect from the last vote and get more votes for this dinosaur that was first voted on when I, old fart, was a teenager.

Is the left STILL trying to illegitimately ram this mess through as an “Amendment?” How many times do they need to be smacked down?

The ERA came with a sell by date that has long since passed. It’s dead and good riddance.

This is proof that most law is really illegal. How many times have laws been put into place because some judge said so? If one judge just said ok, all of a sudden the US has a 38th amendment.

There goes the Dims’ chances of drafting women to fight the forever wars. (Something to think about from 50 years ago in 1972.)

Not really. That’s how elections are done nowadays — the election season is months long, and votes roll in and counting and recounting continue until well after the “Election Day.”

Although this instance is 44 years later, so it’s been a pretty long time.

Women at age 18 must register for the draft now. That was in one of FJB’s multi-trillion dollar bills that passed.

This was probably how they declared the 16th amendment as passed, too. A group tried to push a lawsuit over it last century, but it was shutdown.

The 27th amendment started in the 1790s. Never reached the 3/4 threshold until last 10 yrs or so. However, there was no expiration date on ratifying the amendment. So, when it hit the magic 38, it was certified. That is why the time limit is so important.

The 27th Amendment was proposed in 1789 and ratified in 1992.
