Let's see if the next Congress, hopefully with Speaker Jefferies, will get it done.

My point was that the ERA was the last Constitutional Amendment to even get a chance for ratification. It was passed in 1972! That's 52 years ago and it still hasn't been enacted.

At that rate, Elon Musk would be about 105 years old by the time the necessary amendment would be enacted.

Musk must never be near the levers of power of the U.S. government. He is far more dangerous than Trump even though he's nearly as much of a fraud.

Hopefully, President Harris will be able to continue President Biden's efforts to right our ship of state.
