Do you recall the Equal Rights Amendment ( ERA)? Old Joe Biden is up, and it now declares that it is the law of the land while trying to do as much harm to the country as he can before he slouches off for great on Monday in his taxpayer-funded Delaware beach home. What’s that? You didn’t see that we immediately have a fresh Constitutional article? Well, we perhaps never, but on Friday, Old Joe’s joyful news that the article was a done deal added an eggbeater to now troubled waters.

The ERA was a significant issue in the 1970s when the retiring leader was only beginning his legendary career as a leading corruptocrat in the US Senate. Women rammed American audiences with misinformation such as” A person needs a man like a fish needs a vehicle” and” A woman’s place is in the House… and the Senate.”
However, when Congress approved the ERA on March 22, 1972, it established a seven-year timeframe for the state delegations required to do so. That date came and went on March 22, 1979, with just 35 says approving of the article. Thirty-eight were needed, so that was that. In 2017, however, as the# MeToo movement was cresting, Nevada became the 36th state to approve the ERA, with Illinois following in 2018 and Virginia in 2020.
The act was therefore over the top with just one issue: Virginia ratified it after a seven-year deadline had passed before it could be ratified. Yet before Virginia ratified the ERA, Alabama, Louisiana, and South Dakota tried to head off its post-deadline section, filing a federal complaint in 2019 to prevent any other claims from ratifying the article.  ,
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, demonstrating an excellent and unique degree of popular feeling, explained:” The folks had seven times to regard the ERA, and they rejected it. The very foundation of our constitutional order may be undermined if it were to be smuggled into the Constitution through this unlawful procedure.

All he says is Keep my beer when the man who slammed the corrupt and political justice system on his primary political opponent learns about something that may undermine our democratic order. And so on Friday, Old Joe issued a declaration:
On January 27, 2020, the Commonwealth of Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary obstacles, according to the American Bar Association ( ABA ), in order for it to be formally incorporated into the Constitution as the 28th Amendment. I concur with the ABA and leading authorized legal scholars in their assertion that the Equal Rights Amendment has become a part of our Constitution.
Also, of course, you do, Joe, but it ain’t always so. The president of the United States, even one as rude, self-righteous, and totalitarian as Old Joe, may just consider that something has become part of the Constitution. Post-deadline signatories still need to be verified for accuracy.
Also, why did Old Joe wait until almost four years after Virginia’s ratification to consider that the article was then a done deal if it was included in the Constitution as a result of that acceptance? Could it be that, going back to 1972, there were allegations that the act would allow women to bedrafted, as Phyllis Schlafly, a fierce ERA opposition, had done? If the ERA truly does become a part of the Constitution, Hegseth’s efforts to end that dangerous fantasy-based plan may be hampered because the state has just been treated to the scene of female harridans in the Senate pestering Pete Hegseth over his opposition to putting women in combat roles.

Schlafly also warned that if the amendment were passed, sex-segregated restrooms would become illegal. The ERA’s members have been fighting for over fifty years that this isn’t true, but their insistences grew hollow when men who claimed to be women began evicting women from those spaces and making accusations that attempts to prevent them from entering those spaces were discriminatory.  ,
The amendment “would likely prohibit government from acting on account of sex” and, consequently, from acting in response to or in response to sex inequality, according to one analyst of the amendment. Put simply, government would have to ignore sex, including sex inequality”. That’s music to gender fantasists ‘ ears.
Are Old Joe and his associates trying to tie Hegseth’s hands while simultaneously proclaiming that the ERA is the land’s law to end the transgender movement? Well, what else? Two golden threads woven together by Old Joe’s blatant career in what is still vilely called” the public service” are disheartening partisan skullduggery and vicious culture war propagandizing. His declaration that the ERA is now in effect is more similar.
