18. It would be challenged in the MAGA SCOTUS

Thu Dec 5, 2024, 01:15 AM

Dec 5

The ERA had a sunset date of many years ago, which allegedly erases all the prior state ratifications. The final needed ratifications came after the sunset date.

That is likely the reason Biden hasn’t directed the archive to act- he’s probably been advised it would be challenged and overturned in court.
