    Can someone correct me on this, aren't there only 27 amendments?

    So what is going on here.

    It would be 28th if ratified.

    Yeah, I was hell of confused, I did not know this existed.

    But it is no joke this thing is kind of real.

    I guess this will now go to the courts.

    I guess 2 things would be tested, 1, can congress put a time limit and can they then extend the time limit when ever they want and 2, are states allowed to back out of an amendment once they already passed it.

    I'm surprised that Malkin didn't use a picture of Harry in a Nazi outfit.

    Wait, am I 14 years old again? That's not so bad, as long as mom doesn't take my wine away from me.

    Your ignorance is understandable. I think the last guy who advocated for the Equal Rights Amendment was Jimmy Carter.

    I think the Dems should very seriously consider proposing it again. Wedge issue extraordinaire.

    Why? From the comtemporary rightwing perspective, would go against her thesis that he was being emasculated.

    I agree with you, not because it's a wedge issue, but because I think it will improve the US Constitution by adding a specific guarantee (protection from sex discrimination) that is within the spirit of the constitution as we understand it, but conspicuously absent from the original document.

    Those who wrote the constitution understood that the document could be improved, and that's the reason why the original document includes a process for providing amendments to it.

    It would be significant if the Democrats nominate a woman for president again, and if she takes the stand to advocate for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.

    His comments about the orange light bulb are dangerously close to self deprecating humor. That would mean some self awareness. Kind of like finding life on Mars.

    The day you find self-deprecating humor in The Party of Trump is the day it is no longer The Party of Trump. Having no sense is shame or imperfection or empathy is a foundational pillar of Trumpism. That is why their only "jokes' are mocking insults.

    It's also, not coincidentally, a foundational pillar of fascism. The collective act of punching down unites them. The cruelty is the point. Read this if you haven't already.

    We're on the brink of being a Banana Republic. I hope all voters understand how important is to defeat Trump soundly in November. A vote for third party does not suffice this time.

    Trump strangely quiet on twitter this morning.

    Could it be, he actually has a sense how serious this could be for him? Is it sinking in right now given that Parnas interview.

    He's just trying to decide whether it's Nunes, Barr or Pence to toss under the bus. He doesn't really know those people.
