Fox News
Republicans pointed to the former Supreme Court Justice and champion for gender equality, Ruth Bader Ginsburg in condemning the House’s Wednesday vote to pass a joint resolution to remove the ratification deadline for the Equal Rights Amendment.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said "it was the lowest and worst vote total the ERA has had in the last 50 years." Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the amendment in January 2020 – finally reaching the number of states needed to officially create the 28th Amendment. Republicans argue this happened 40 years too late, as the ratification deadline had already been extended from 1977 to 1982.More Related News
