Sen. Tammy Duckworth Celebrates Major Victory for Women With the ERA

The fact-checkers who are supposed to protect us from misinformation seem to be asleep at the wheel on this one. As our own Aaron Walker reported on Friday, President Joe Biden declared that the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, the Equal Rights Amendment, was the law of the land because he posted a statement on X declaring it so. Fortunately, Community Notes are clearing up this effort to spread misinformation.

He was probably hounded into it by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who's been pushing for Biden to ratify the ERA since at least mid-December when New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser wrote this hot take:

Now we're seeing female politicians celebrating the "ratification" of the 28th Amendment. Gillibrand joined Vice President Kamala Harris in taking a victory lap online. Joining Gillibrand, whose throat is probably also still sore from screeching at Pete Hegseth earlier this week, was Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who called Biden's intern's post "a major victory."

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

The National Archivist, responsible for new amendments, states:

"At this time, the Equal Rights Amendment cannot be certified... due to established legal, judicial, and procedural decisions."

The Biden DOJ Office of Legal Counsel also confirmed this in 2022.

Duckworth took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution, but she apparently doesn't know how it works. Lawmakers should be furious that Biden would unilaterally declare the Constitution amended in a massive example of executive overreach.

Use it, ladies.

American women would flee to Afghanistan if they had the right to travel without a male escort.

Well, Gillibrand did bitch at Hegseth about his view of women in combat.

They all — especially Harris — should be ashamed for going along with this ruse.
