Biden Falsely Declares States Ratified Equal Rights Amendment to Constitution

[xuenchen]

Biden really going bonkers with the lies.

This new one today is real official too.

He's claiming The 28Th Amendment was ratified!

The DOJ actually said it wasn't in a report in 2022.

Apparently the States didn't "Ratify" in time allowed by law.

 

So what's with all these lies?????

Who is getting fooled????

Why didn't They (Democrats) do anything for the last 4 years??? 


Joe Biden Falsely Declares States Ratified Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to Constitution

 
WASHINGTON, DC – President Joe Biden on Friday made the bizarre proclamation that the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution was ratified by 38 states to become part of the U.S. Constitution, an announcement that is legally dead wrong and a disgraceful disservice to the country and the rule of law.
 
The Constitution requires that any amendment must be proposed by both two-thirds of the House (290) and two-thirds of the Senate (67). After that, a majority (over 50 percent) in the legislatures of three-fourths of the states (38) must vote to ratify the proposed amendment to make it part of the Constitution. All this has happened only 27 times in American history, starting with the Bill of Rights in 1791.
 
Congress proposed the ERA in 1972 as a top priority of the Far Left. It says, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

 
Statement from President Joe Biden on the Equal Rights Amendment

 
I have supported the Equal Rights Amendment for more than 50 years, and I have long been clear that no one should be discriminated against based on their sex. We, as a nation, must affirm and protect women’s full equality once and for all. 
 
On January 27, 2020, the Commonwealth of Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The American Bar Association (ABA) has recognized that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary hurdles to be formally added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment. I agree with the ABA and with leading legal constitutional scholars that the Equal Rights Amendment has become part of our Constitution.
 
It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex. 

Effect of 2020 OLC Opinion on Possible Congressional Action Regarding Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment

A 2020 opinion of the Office of Legal Counsel that addressed the legal status of the proposed Equal Rights Amendment is not an obstacle either to Congress’s ability to act with respect to ratification of the ERA or to judicial consideration of questions regarding the constitutional status of the ERA. January 26, 2022 .....

Biden Proved Wrong on ERA Amendment by National Archives, Community Notes

 
The eligibility for ratification long expired, according to the National Archives. Several states have also rescinded their ratification. Nevada voted to ratify the ERA in 2017, becoming the first state to do so since 1977. Thirty-eight states were required to ratify the amendment in order for it to pass, though that didn't happen until Virginia did so in January 2020, according to the Brennan Center. 
 
Further, in January 2022--during Biden's term--the Assistant Attorney General Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a memo for the Counsel to the President on the legal status for ratifying the ERA.
 
"Whether the ERA is part of the Constitution will be resolved not by an OLC opinion but by the courts and Congress. Indeed, the status of the ERA, including important questions about Congress’s role in the amendment process, is the subject of ongoing litigation, with additional lawsuits almost certain to be filed shortly," the memo from Christopher H. Schroeder read at one point.
