"We have laws against sex discrimination, but the problem with laws is that they are easy to change. We need it in the Constitution."

However, I bet she believes in a "living" Constitution which (while it may be hard to change) can be re-interpreted at the drop of a hat to mean any old thing.

"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

But we have clever lawyers and idiot judges manufacturing new "rights" every day. And does "sex" refer only to biological sex, or to sexual preferences as well? The wording is a minefield and a playground for everybody and their sibling of indeterminate sex to demand things they are not really entitled to.

And the insistence that it isn't real until the Constitution says it is absolute proof that the supporters know that this is merely a trojan horse for other things.

Actually now an ERA would legally be an improvement for men given how much the law blatantly favors women.
