"I would like to see a new beginning," Ginsburg told an audience at Georgetown University Law Center. "I'd like it to start over," she added.Ginsburg was responding to a question from the moderator of the event, Judge M. Margaret McKeown of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, who asked whether there would ever be an Equal Rights Amendment on the federal level.The ERA would ban discrimination on the basis of sex and guarantee equality for women under the Constitution.
Her comments on the Equal Rights Amendment bolster arguments made last month by the Department of Justice in a legal opinion. Steven Engel, the assistant attorney general of the Office of Legal Counsel, wrote in response to an ongoing lawsuit that his office had concluded that"Congress had the constitutional authority to impose a deadline on the ratification of the ERA and, because that deadline has expired, the ERA Resolution is no longer pending before the States.
CNN The irony of this is that you need a law for equality and we're not in medieval times.
Love this sassy lady! And the biceps on her 🤗
There should be a gofundme specifically for the most cutting edge wellness treatments for RBG.
Thanks to her not retiring under Obama, Trump will get his 3rd scotus pick 🤣 1/3 of the scotus will be Trump appointees 👍🏽
Someone didn’t get the memo
While I disagree with RBG much of the time, she has always been intellectually principled. I commend her for standing with the clear wording of the amendment.
Can't legislate feelings. It's a dangerous path she wants!
Settled law. Ginsberg needs to retire.
That's not how Constitutional Amendments work. The Amendment is still pending. All you have to do is raise awareness of the pending status and states will act if they think it's necessary
What rights do women not have again?
There was no deadline! FFS
