Joe Biden's Declaration on the Equal Rights Amendment

Joe Biden's recent declaration that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was ratified has raised significant constitutional concerns. This amendment, which has a long and contentious history, was previously considered unratified due to states rescinding their support. The decision by Biden is seen as an overreach since constitutional amendments require a proper and formal ratification process, not unilateral declarations from the presidency. As noted in the podcast, this situation may lead to legal battles, especially if the ERA is invoked in court, highlighting the potential for increased litigation surrounding the amendment.
