Now even a leftist court has sounded off on the wild claim by Democrats, other progressives, and Joe Biden that the Equal Rights Amendment now is “law of the land.”
The ERA was proposed back in the 1970s, some five decades ago. It was approved by Congress and states were given seven years to endorse it. The deadline even, under a questionable scheme, was “extended” by three years.
It failed.
Then, not just years, but decades after the deadline has passed, Democrats in several states schemed to vote on the idea, with Virginia’s “approval” coming just recently.
So claimed the Democrats that the damaging ERA, which could be applied to do things like erase abortion restrictions nationwide and require the draft for women, was the law.
Joe Biden quickly jumped out onto that limb.
The panel didn’t even bother to explain its reasoning, stating simply, “We reject as meritless Valame’s contention that the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified as the Twenty-Eight Amendment to the Constitution.”
It was Vikram Valame who raised the demand that the court create the 28th Amendment judicially in a fight over the legality of the Military Selective Service Act.
