Thank YOU for reading. ancianita Jun 2022 #3

Why 54? onenote Jun 2022 #4

I literally watched Sheldon Whitehouse bring the number up, as have a number of media sources. ancianita Jun 2022 #15

The article - 2016 - says that getting 54% of the vote in the presidential election onenote Jun 2022 #37

Fine. But I'm not deleting it because I saw Whitehouse tell an MSNBC host that figure. ancianita Jun 2022 #40

"Fifty four is simply not a magic number for anything." Tell that to Sheldon Whitehouse. ancianita Jun 2022 #42

It is far from clear what Whitehouse is talking about, but it doesn't change the fact that 54 isn't onenote Jun 2022 #49

Don't play word games. He SAID 54 or 55 would make a filibuster workaround for anything. ancianita Jun 2022 #51

Not even close. onenote Jun 2022 #64

The ERA is not stalled in Congress, its dead. brooklynite Jun 2022 #5

Not dead. Because re those states' rescinding, the 54 can legally resolve those states' status. ancianita Jun 2022 #6

Who are "the 54"? brooklynite Jun 2022 #8

Reread the OP title. 54 Democratic senators we vote in. ancianita Jun 2022 #10

So you get a majority of the Senate to eliminate the filibuster and then vote to extend the deadline brooklynite Jun 2022 #12

Yes. ancianita Jun 2022 #16

I don't know what it means either. 54 is not a magic number for anything onenote Jun 2022 #38

RGB said in early 2020 that we have to start over Polybius Jun 2022 #71

Worst case, with eyes on the prize, the 54 can still codify Roe while working on the ERA's status. ancianita Jun 2022 #7

I hear you. It's the problem that voting in 54 Democratic senators can deal with. ancianita Jun 2022 #11

Agree 100% SickOfTheOnePct Jun 2022 #13

Not true Novara Jun 2022 #14

I'm lost with this recurring "54" number brooklynite Jun 2022 #17

The math is wrong. We need to overcome Manchin and Sinema and strike down the filibuster Novara Jun 2022 #18

DiFi is not a certain yes vote to kill the filibuster, so add one more senator to the list. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jun 2022 #28

So BE lost. You come into this thread with no source links at all, and undermine it with specious ancianita Jun 2022 #20

What is specious about my argument about the Court? brooklynite Jun 2022 #22

Then use sources to back you up. Start an OP of your own to source to DU how the ERA is dead. ancianita Jun 2022 #25

from your source: Chance of flipping Parties 9% brooklynite Jun 2022 #45

You read it! As least I had one to post in your non-existent OP about why the ERA is dead. ancianita Jun 2022 #54

You know, I post things all the time... brooklynite Jun 2022 #58

You do. ancianita Jun 2022 #59

Thank you for the clarification, and for restoring a measure of hope for me. n//t msfiddlestix Jun 2022 #24

This! mcar Jun 2022 #19

This is powerful, may I share? Freddie Jun 2022 #21

Share away. No credit needed. ancianita Jun 2022 #23

A giant kick for this vitally important post! CaliforniaPeggy Jun 2022 #26

The ERA is NOT DEAD. ancianita Jun 2022 #27

In case you hadn't noticed, stare decicis is dead - SCOTUS will rule however it wishes Fiendish Thingy Jun 2022 #29

In case you hadn't noticed SCOTUS can't rescind any Amendments. ancianita Jun 2022 #31

You seem sooo certain, despite the expiration date, rescinding of ratification Fiendish Thingy Jun 2022 #35

Since I'd guess neither of us is a constitutional lawyer or historian, at least consider this. ancianita Jun 2022 #36

Congress might attempt this path, but it won't be free from obstructions Fiendish Thingy Jun 2022 #53

"the Supreme Court held that...." brooklynite Jun 2022 #46

Think back to 8th grade social studies. H2O Man Jun 2022 #50

I hear you. It's the problem that voting in 54 Democratic senators can deal with. ancianita Jun 2022 #52

I'm conversing with H2O Man Jun 2022 #55

Cool. ancianita Jun 2022 #56

Many decades ago, H2O Man Jun 2022 #60

That was my point as well SickOfTheOnePct Jun 2022 #57

Very good! H2O Man Jun 2022 #61

I think Lisa Murkowski said she would be in favor. gldstwmn Jun 2022 #68

Good. You'd think the other women of the Republican side would join her. ancianita Jun 2022 #69

Wonderful post. Let's have a democratic revolution. mjvpi Jun 2022 #63

Great post. Thanks so much. gldstwmn Jun 2022 #65

Thanks back. ancianita Jun 2022 #66
