Biden urges Congress to act now on Equal Rights Amendment

President Joe Biden on Thursday called on Congress to immediately enshrine the Equal Rights Amendment in the U.S. Constitution and formally protect women's rights nearly a century after lawmakers first raised them.

In a statement, Biden urged Congress "to pass a resolution recognizing ratification of the ERA," saying recent legal analysis showed there was nothing preventing lawmakers from acting.

Is the ERA still a thing?

It's a myth, just like the migration and crime issues.

Biden has this huge ego and he probably wants to be the President who gets credit for passing the ERA. Biden met with Presidential scholars like John Meacham to discuss how he could be the best President ever... YUCK! Congress could always pass it and try to win in court. I'm not a constitutional scholar but several experts claim that there was a seven year window to ratify the ERA back in '79 that was extended by a judge to '82. I personally think we need to legally determine who qualifies as a WOMAN before passing a big equal rights amendment.
