Uh, it failed Joe...

Biden nailed with mockery and contempt over absurd attempt to declare 28th Amendment to the Constitution ]/link]

"Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified," read the missive attributed to Biden. "The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex."

Actually there was a move to revive this monstrosity during Biden's tenure of office by saying they merely had to get a couple of states to authorize it; they claimed there was no expiration date on the original amendment. So all you have to do to change the Constitution is get as many states as possible to approve it then wait and pick them off over decades?

Thank God for Phyllis Schlafley, who managed to help kill this thing. BTW Schlafley's nephew Dan was my counselor in college; he was the Russian history professor at St. Louis University. Oh, and his brother Tom founded the St.Louis Brewery aka Schlafleys, the first microbrewery in Missouri and still one of the largest in the state.

A Federal judge ruled states acted too late to ratify it now, as the deadline for passing it expired (in 2020 the final state needed to pass it did, but this was decades after the amendment was first voted on and well pst the deadline.) The Federal archivist has to register it as passed, and if he does then it becomes an amendment, although there will be a court challenge, no question.

Anyway, Biden is simply declaring victory over the NRA and hoping people believe it and act accordingly. No doubt some Democrat-appointed judges will try to implement it as law. Everyone is laughing at Biden as a senile fool, but I suspect something more nefarious is happening here.

They are trying to ram this piece of crap down America's throats in the waning days of the Biden Administion. The National Archivist is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, but has no fixed term, and can stay in office as long as he cares to do so. On August 13, 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Colleen Joy Shogan, who currently controls the records. I think she's going to confirm the ERA as an official amendment to the Constitution. Biden knew what he was saying.

There is talk afoot about using the ERA as Constitutional grounds for circumventing the Supreme Court ruling on abortion.

This is going to wind up being up to the courts, make no mistake about it.

Be warned.

But they are the defenders of "democracy" they tell us.
