According to the Idaho case in federal court that killed the ERA in 1982, the only way a ratification window can be changed is to re-introduce the amendment in Congress and get two thirds of each House to approve it.

The method used in 1979 to change the ratification window via majority vote of each House and the signature of the president was ruled a violation of Article V and thus unconstitutional.

Also, the votes aren't there in Congress. It will die in committee.

ERA raised from the dead last year in the Illinois House. It has been turned back 14 times in Illinois.

Boomers and older are familiar with ERA, but younger generations don’t have a clue about it. Just having MARK KIRK introduce a resolution to remove the ratification deadline for the Equal Rights Amendment shows we must always be vigilant.
