With only days left in his term in office, Joe Biden seems to believe that he is a king and has declared a new constitutional amendment.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Joe Biden appears to believe he can now create new constitutional amendments out of thin air before he departs office in three days.
As NPR reported, Biden declared the ERA had cleared the hurdle to be added to the Constitution as its 28th Amendment when Virginia ratified it in January 2020.
“It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex,” Biden said in a statement.
CNN reports that Biden’s move will draw swift legal challenges, because ratification for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) expired June 30, 1982, over 40 years ago.
Moreover Biden’s own Justice Department agrees. In 2022, they affirmed a 2020 ruling from Trump’s ustice Department’s Office of Legal Council that stated that the “the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable.”
Biden, though, is citing the far-left American Bar Association’s (ABA) opinion according to CNN. The ABA claims “no time limit was included in the text of the Equal Rights Amendment” and “the Constitution’s framers wisely avoided the chaos that would have resulted if states were able to take back the ratifying votes at any time.”
NPR notes that for Biden’s move to have the force of law, it would need to be formally published or certified to come into effect by the National Archivist, Colleen Shogan. It’s not clear if this would happen and the Biden regime claims they will not force the archivist to certify and publish the ERA (no one should believe them, of course).
The ERA is a radical amendment ostensibly designed to give men and women ‘equality’ under the Constitution, but in reality, it would unleash a series of potentially devastating consequences for America. Two years ago, the Senate GOP introduced an effort to stop the illegitimate ratification of the ERA while outlining these facts.
These include:
• Legalizing abortion on demand.
• Prohibiting schools from allowing separate-sex athletic teams.
• Prohibiting separate prisons for male and female prisoners.
• Prohibiting separate public restrooms for males and females.
• Requiring women to register for the draft.
• Requiring public funding for sex-reassignment surgeries based on the argument that denying coverage would constitute sex discrimination.
• Requiring doctors to provide puberty blockers to children who claim to identify as transgender.
• Prohibiting religious organizations from having single-sex membership.
This is the most shameful parting gift that Biden could have given the country. After years of Democrats claiming that Trump would be a fascist dictator, King Biden attempts to issue his decree from on high met by the applause of the left.
A true cherry on top of a terribly failed administration.
