Amendment Amiss

Biden claims that the ERA has been ratified. There's just one problem:

Congress proposed the ERA in 1972 as a top priority of the Far Left. It says, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” While officially it would ensure that men and women have equal rights, legal scholars and top elected Republicans explain in great detail how it would instead abolish all sorts of vital legal distinctions and protections. These would range from blocking even the most modest restrictions on abortion through the moment of birth, to allowing men in women’s sports and locker rooms, to making it potentially illegal to have a Father’s Day and Mother’s Day on the calendar as holidays. But as in several other proposed amendments, such as the Eighteenth Amendment (Prohibition) and the Twenty-First Amendment (repealing Prohibition), Congress’s proposed resolution included a seven-year deadline for states to ratify the ERA. And in later amendments, Congress continued to insert this deadline language in the joint resolution proposing the amendment, as Congress did in 1972 with the ERA. In its 1921 decision Dillon v. Gloss, the Supreme Court held that it is constitutional for Congress to attach such deadlines to proposed amendments. The ERA’s seven-year deadline came and went with only 35 states ratifying the proposal. In fact, during that time five states that originally voted to ratify then voted to rescind that ratification, so it is likely that only 30 states voted to ratify before the deadline.

Like his other false memories, it never happened...
