The Return of the ERA

Timothy Birdnow

America is reliving the '70's but with problems of the 21st century.

We are touting solar panels and windmills. We are suffering with sky-high inflation and gas prices. We are seeing rebellious thuggery in the streets. The music isn't as good though.

And to top it off the Equal Rights Amendment is baaack!

Yes, Chuck You Schumer is planning to hold a vote to make the horrible '70's feminist fantasy into a Constitutional Amendment!

Yes, like a bad Dracula movie, the ERA has returned to menace America.

From the article:

"In this ominous hour of American history, the Equal Rights Amendment has never been as necessary and urgent as it is today," Schumer said in a press release on Monday evening. "Recent events like the Supreme Court’s horrible Dobbs decision.

Three more states – Nevada, Illinois and Virginia – ratified the ERA in 2017, 2018 and 2020, respectively.

Now, Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Ben Cardin, D-Md., are working on a bipartisan resolution that would remove what Schumer’s press release called the "arbitrary deadline" for ratification in the original bill that passed decades ago.

"We are here to stand united, and inch by inch restore, fight for, and expand women’s rights so that the women of today and the generations of tomorrow will not know a future with less access than their mothers had," Schumer said. "The ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment would finally provide a constitutional remedy against sex discrimination – pushing our country one step closer to finally achieving equal justice under the law. It has been exactly 100 years since the first ERA was proposed in Congress. American women cannot afford to wait 100 more."

No doubt they won't require a new vote.

The ERA was a radical idea at the time that would have overturned the U.S. Constitution.

And now it is coming back from the dead.

The sad thing is it will probably fly under everyone's radar again and may well pass this time.

Notice Lisa Murkowsky -  RINO Republican who played fast and dirty to hang onto her Seante seat - is the cosponsor.

We are going to pay dearly for letting her stay in office.
