The US Archivist just decided 𝗻𝗼𝘁 to certify the #EqualRightsAmendment (#ERA).
archives.gov/press/press-relea

“In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid."

Congress originally set the ratification deadline at March 1979, and later voted to extend it to June 1982.

National Archives · Statement on the Equal Rights Amendment Ratification ProcessArchivist of the United States Dr. Colleen Shogan and Deputy Archivist William J. Bosanko released the following statement today on the Equal Rights Amendment and the constitutional responsibilities for administering the ratification process: “As Archivist and Deputy Archivist of the United States, it is our responsibility to uphold the integrity of the constitutional amendment process and ensure that changes to the Constitution are carried out in accordance with the law.

This is pretend non-sense, offered to look like they take the problem seriously. The right has been working on fixing #Scotus in their favor for 50yrs, as well as the theory called the 'unitary executive'. That is how we got to this immunity rulling & all the other horrible ones the GOP loves so much like Dobbs.
So now, Joe/Kamala want you to believe 17GOP Senators & 13GOP states are now going to vote to overturn that w/ a #Constitutional #amendment
