House will attempt to revive Equal Rights Amendment this week

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The House is poised this week to pass a measure that would revive the long-dead Equal Rights Amendment by repealing the 1982 deadline imposed on states to ratify it.

The measure, H.J. Res. 79, would “permanently reopen the ratification process for the amendment by eliminating the deadline,” the Congressional Budget Office reported.

The amendment has gained new life in recent years. Many of the women in the House Democratic Caucus sported ERA pins during President Trump’s State of Union address on Tuesday and wore white to symbolize the suffragist movement.

But the effort to resuscitate the ERA faces significant obstacles.

The GOP-led Senate is unlikely to endorse the House measure.

“I’m personally not a supporter,” Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said last week.

Of course you're not you knuckle dragging troglodyte.

1. No, you are not a supporter...

Being backwards and prejudiced is the coat of arms for the GOP and that's why it is on the verge of obsolescence.

Now Mitch, go grab some lunch.



GO ERA!!!!!

2. Get them on the record.

Make them state categorically in 2020 that they do not support an Equal Rights Amendment. We’re more than half the voting population, you fuckwads. This will not help you.

3. We're not sure that's even an option

They’re unlikely to get 2/3, let alone get the Senate to pick it up and do the same. Then there’s the open question re: whether the courts would allow it. All that before they even deal with whether states can rescind their ratification.

But it’s likely just an effort to create another election issue.
