House will attempt to revive Equal Rights Amendment this week
by Susan Ferrechio
 | February 09, 2020 12:01 AM



The House is poised this week to pass a measure that would revive the long-dead Equal Rights Amendment by repealing the 1982 deadline imposed on states to ratify it.

The measure, H.J. Res. 79, would “permanently reopen the ratification process for the amendment by eliminating the deadline,” the Congressional Budget Office reported.

The amendment has gained new life in recent years. Many of the women in the House Democratic Caucus sported ERA pins during President Trump’s State of Union address on Tuesday and wore white to symbolize the suffragist movement.

But the effort to resuscitate the ERA faces significant obstacles.

The GOP-led Senate is unlikely to endorse the House measure.

The left is grasping for straws now knowing that Trump is capturing some of the black vote. The left could care less about equal rights.  This is nothing more than a ploy to get the GOP on record with votes for or against equal rights.

Nice to see our government getting back to the most important issues -- the house with the so-called equal rights amendment and Trump advocating for Pete Rose to be admitted to the Hall of Fame --  now that the impeachment farce is over.

Cheer up! Trump didn't win the most votes in the Dim primary in Iowa! Whoever your favorite Communist is still has a 1 in 100 shot of winning!

It was. The DEMS are having a revival.  Equal rights and rich ole whitey keeping the black man down is their next attempt at trying to lure voters back to their side. So far their lame attempts have backfired, let's hope this does as well.
