President Joe Biden announced a major opinion Friday that the Equal Rights Amendment is ratified, enshrining its protections into the Constitution, a last-minute move that some believe could pave the way to bolstering reproductive rights.
But legal experts contend it isn’t that simple: Ratification deadlines lapsed and five states have rescinded their approval, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s law school, prompting questions about the president’s authority to ratify the amendment more than 50 years after it first passed.
Ain’t gonna stick.
Ratification deadlines aren’t real. And there’s no mechanism for a state to unratify something after the fact.
I also read the article. Have you seen SCOTUS lately?
If only it had happened sooner. He wouldn’t have had to make this announcement on his way out the door.
