Showing Original Post only (View all)Laurence Tribe - The Equal Rights Amendment at Long Last [View all]
It is not necessary for the National Archivist to publish the ERA in order for it to be adopted according to the provisions of the Constitution.
In our modern age of broadcast, cable and internet communication, the President’s announcement itself performed that function.
Accordingly, our Constitution now demands that “equality of rights under the law cannot be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.”
It’s long past time!

The Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land following President Biden's announcement.
It will remain the law of the land until someone (MAGA or misogynisitic men) fight to remove it.

When you can demonstrate you have a resume even 10% as strong as Laurence Tribe's as a constitutional expert

Prof. Tribe KNOWS this issue in and out. He was there in the trenches during the 1970s

In Tribe's point of view, can a state start by opposing ratification, which would then prevent it always?

No, I mean can a state's vote to NOT ratify be undone by a later vote to ratify?

So you support a mechanism to pass amendments that even a majority never support at a given time?

It is not constitutional to "rescind" a ratification. Only 3/4 of Congress and legislatures can repeal an amendment.

Prof. Tribe is one of, if not THE, leading constitutional experts in the United States.

There is no way anyone would be open to allowing States to rescind an amendment.
