Federal judge says states acted too late to ratify Equal Rights Amendment

WASHINGTON — A federal district court judge ruled late Friday that recent state votes to ratify the proposed Equal Rights Amendment came too late to make it part of the Constitution.

The ruling was a defeat for ERA supporters and the three states that asked the judge to declare that the amendment became formally adopted after Virginia last year became the 38th state to ratify it.

Along with Illinois and Nevada, Virginia argued that the Constitution does not give Congress any power to set a time limit on the ratification process. They also argued that the deadline had no force of law, since it was placed only in the amendment's proposing clause, not in the actual text that the states voted on.

But Judge Rudolph Contreras of the federal district court in Washington, D.C., said the vote "came after both the original and extended deadlines that Congress attached to the ERA." A ratification deadline in the introduction "is just as effective as one in the text of a proposed amendment.”

The states now have the option of appealing the ruling. The case is likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This is stupid.  We already had this argument when the deadline was proposed (and passed by Congress), and the Rats lost.

Also, five of the states which agreed to this rescinded their approvals.

The Commonwealth of Virginia has twice before rejected it.  How many times does a State have to vote 'No' one something before it counts as 'No'?

The second 'No' vote occurred during my senior year in high school.  Afterwards, the wide grin I was wearing as I entered my required 'US & Virginia Government' earned me an immediate trip to the office by my radical left wing Democrat teacher.

She eventually would fail my Reagan-loving heart from that class.   (Yes, I got sent to the office the day after Reagan beat Carter, too.)  I never graduated high school because of it.  But looking back, it was well worth it.

I think a version of it is in Sinclair's Socialist tract, The Jungle.
