The ERA was Re-introduced in the Senate for Ratification Yesterday

19. Yes, they have. The GOP and Constitutionalist parties have both pushed this for decades.

They are angling for an Article V Convention to rewrite the United States Constitution, from the state houses. They are keeping count and making sure the legislators will march in lockstep. That is why they elect anyone, no matter how outrageous who will vote their will. They are very close to that majority, if they do not already have it, to call for it.

We can rest assured with a GOP POTUS it will happen. With an Article V concvention, the great tool box to make the Constitution fit the Koch agenda will be opened and the government will rewritten to set up their system. Check ALEC or Reid and Sander's revelations that I have posted here to see what they intend. They have nearly fulfilled it now.

It is all legal. I don't know if the ERA will be ratified in time to stop them, no more than an amendment to overturn Citizens United. Obama said immediately after CU that a grassroots movement would be required to do this and he was talking about from the statehouses. It was the state houses that denied us the ERA before. In the meantime, the media did its job and people did not vote, enabling more of the Koch agenda to be enacted.

They want Birthright Citizenship, Due Process and Equal Treatment Under the Law, all part of the 14th repealed. Rand Paul wants the convention to rewrite the 14th to declare who is a person under the Constitution will be and we know Rand Paul (R- national personhood bill) intends to take that back to conception. Or since the GOP doesn't know when that occurs, at ejacultion. Women = Concubines.

The 4th did not protect women any more than it did Dred Scott, so the 14th and other Civil War amendments had to be passed. People who think they are voting against 'anchor babies' are really putting their own liberty and rights of citizenship at risk, but they don't think about what they are really supporting. Imagine a GOP trifeca and endless war. Many of the GOP envision a Starship Trooper form of citizenship, where only those who serve in the military will have the right to vote. The rest are just their servants and have no voice.

And like the Koch brothers and Grover Nordquist, Libertarians and Truthers, they want the IRS gone. To make sure those pesky laws never show their faces again.

Who can forget Ann Coulter and since then other women's remarks that women should not be voting?

Like LGBT, women are suspect, they are 'the wrong sex.'

We need the ERA more than ever. It would make all the restrictive laws lose their powers, but we must get control of the state houses to make it happen. The Senate can introduce this but it cannot makes it laws, as it is merely a proposal to the states, AFAIK.

And who controls the states? The ones who showed up in 2010 and 2014 to vote. What a nightmare.
