LINK House Democrats introduce resolution to ratify ERA to U.S. Constitution - Axios

Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) on Thursday introduced a resolution to recognize that the Equal Rights Amendment has met all legal requirements to be considered the 28th constitutional amendment.

Why it matters: If the resolution passes in both Congress chambers, the ERA would be officially added to the constitution and would guarantee legal gender equality under the Constitution.

(It's a long time coming, as it was first introduced in the 1970's.)

Level 9

I thought there only 26 amendments in the constitution. What's number 27?

@freedom41

Amendment 27. No law, varying the compensation for the services of the senators and representatives, shall take effect, until an election of representatives shall have intervened.

This is what I have been advocating since RBG shot it down for being late. Good for us.

Level 8

Will the Senate Repubs filibuster it?
