OP
Well, I have more respect for Laurence Tribe than any other constitutional lawyer and he says you are wrong:

I loved RBG but she is no longer relevant, having not heard the argument that Tribe presents.

She did not live to hear it litigated. She was a tremendous SCOTUS justice, but not a constitutional scholar/litigant

that you diminish Laurence Tribe says all I want to hear from you. I said she was not a constitutional scholar litigant.

Can you read? I said RBG was not a constiutional scholar litigant. She was not. She was a wonderful SCOTUS justice

Not a single one remotely related to ERA or abortion or anything related. Tribe, on the other hand has argued 36

Hard to say whether your error here is in not knowing RBG or not knowing the ERA

Your willingness to devote this much energy into promoting the meme the RW has advanced since VA's vote

Being called on your posts, attitudes and disgusting disregard for the rights of others struck a nerve, did it?

You said it was settled. I have at no time said it should not be litigated, just as Tribe has made the case.

Now that President Biden has essentially "published" the Equal Rights Amendment via his announcement yesterday

The last thing anyone should want is for States to be allowed to rescind their ratification of amendments

In no sense did he "publish" the ERA - and there will be no forthcoming lawsuits

Tribe and Sullivan conveniently ignore the current makeup of the Supreme Court.

As they should. No where in the Constitution does it say, "...depending on who is sitting on the SCOTUS."

The Equal Rights Amendment has met all the requirements to be included in the Constitution.

When the ERA met all the requirements the con artist was in the office and he chose not to acknowledge it.

According to the Associated Press and Boston Globe, the 1982 deadline for it to be ratified has passed.

AP writers/editors are not constitutional lawyers. Hell they are hardly reporters. See Laurence Tribe on this

I submitted this AP story before Tribe's commentary was released. I'll defer to him. :-)

False. Show me the "ratification deadline" in the text of ERA or any other constitutional amendment.

ABA and Tribe know what they are talking about. "Time limit" advisory was invalidated per USSC decision in 1982.

This is misinformation. That case was dismissed as moot because the deadline imposed by Congress had already passed

I said elsewhere that Biden's action should be celebrated even if it doesn't hold

Oh, so NOW you agree there is a case to be made and should be settled via litigation. After what, two dozen posts

Not to me, you haven't. Only a constant stream of memes about it being settled, Tribe has no case to make, etc. etc.

Proving once again you never read Tribe's argument given you spiel the meme about the date when there is

Please stop spreading misinformation about the 1982 case, repeating known falsehoods doesn't help your argument.

Yes. I keep posting Laurence Tribe's assessment of this (that it is now law) and they keep poo pooing HIM!

Unbelievable how many people are upset that the ERA is now the law of the land.

I don't think anyone here is upset, I think we're realistic about what this means

You have not even bothered to read constiutional scholar Laurence Tribe's argument that defeats yours.

Because they express it and refuse to read a knowledgable assessment that differs from their own uninformed one?
