Biden continues to trash the country on his way out the door, attacking the US Constitution by unilaterally declaring the Equal Rights Amendment to be part of it.

Daily Signal provides a civics and history lesson:

The Constitution provides that Congress, by a two-thirds vote, may propose an amendment to the Constitution and that it becomes part of the Constitution when ratified by three-fourths of the states (38) in the manner Congress requires.

Rep. Martha Griffiths, D-Mich., introduced House Joint Resolution 208 in 1971 to propose this language: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

Today’s Democrat social engineers would use that to impose the LGBT agenda, including men on women’s sports teams and in their private facilities.

There was a deadline on ratification, which the proposed amendment did not meet. Therefore, it expired and is not part of the US Constitution, as even leftists like Gloria Steinem and Ruth Bader Ginsburg have attested. Yet Joe Biden has announced that it is:

Biden gets to three fourths of the states by counting the three states that ratified after the deadline while ignoring the five states that withdrew their ratification.

The problem goes deeper than the senile lowlife currently infesting the White House:

[Biden] said nothing about the archivist declaring or certifying anything about the 1972 ERA.

Led by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., 47 Senate Democrats recently wrote Biden asking that he order the archivist to do so.

If Democrats had the leverage, they would simply declare the dead amendment to have passed and count on a Supreme Court that they would pack with Ketanji Brown Jackson types to back them up.

Leftists unilaterally declared a constitutional right to abortion with Roe v. Wade. Why not add amendments according to their whim?

That ignoring procedure would render the Constitution meaningless is not a bug but a feature. Whatever limits their power, Democrats seek to destroy. The same goes for anything that defines America.
