Regarding Biden on the ERA as law [View all]

I don't think that the ERA will be accepted as an amendment because of three factors.

1) Some states have rescinded their approval.

2) The deadline was 1982.

3) Biden's statement of agreement with the American Bar Association that the ERA has been approved to become a constitutional amendment has no legal power. It is only a statement of his view.

But, by making this public statement, Biden is stirring conversation again on making women's rights into national law. By doing it just 3 days before Trump's swearing in, it falls to Trump and his MAGA regime to reject it.
