The deadline was in the text of the original proposed Amendment. That was what the states voted on. They have to start all over again.

Indeed. It will take some work but this will all wind up with the SCOTUS. At that point...IF...and that's a big IF... the SCOTUS does their job and interprets the Constitution as they are tasked...it will be sent back with a big "No. Start over."

Another issue that has to be dealt with, is that a few States rescinded their ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, during the period in which it was distributed to the states for ratification.

Can the states rescind ratification of a constitutional amendment?

If so then they are still a few States short of the 38 states that would be required.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals already said, "No. Start over." Resubmission from scratch is the only constitutional course available. Ginsberg was right. It's dead.
