While the ruling is of course correct I seem to remember from college government class that the USSC has original jurisdiction in cases involving disputes among the states. Should not this be a the USSC to begin?
At one point Congress did (illegally) extend the deadline, but that didn't help. Thank you, Phyllis Schlafly!
Young White girls love a good protest, the guys attend to pick up chicks.
Correct.

Correct again. Congress used the Legislative Process, rather than the Amendatory Process in Article V, to extend the deadline by 3 years, but a federal court struck it down. Some articles on this subject name the drop-dead date as June 1, 1982, but the real date on which the ratification window closed was June 1, 1979.
Attempts to execute belated ratifications were simply virtue signaling. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that if this issue came before the Supreme Court, she would have to hold her nose and vote with the conservatives.
Yep, if this had been ratified, it would be just as legitimate as Biden’s election was.
