(28,099 posts)For the same reason that there weren't any successful lawsuits when VA claimed to have ratified the amendment in the first place.
There is no need for ERA opponents to go to court. The incoming administration isn't going to be requiring policy changes in line with the ERA or bringing suit against states that violate it. The first "28A" lawsuits would be brought by ERA supporters who believe that one or more states have violated the supposed amendment... and they have no more that they can point to than they had a week ago. "But judge... a former president said that it was ratified!" doesn't carry any weight.
All other arguments were available five years ago... yet nobody was making them. If Biden is correct that VA was the final required state in the process... then that was just as true five years ago.
