“The ERA is now the 28th Amendment because three-fourths of the States have ratified it and the congressionally imposed ratification deadline is a legal nullity because Article V nowhere authorizes Congress to impose ratification deadlines on the States. …allowing Congress to impose ratification deadlines on the States violates Article V because it tips the balance of amendatory powers unconstitutionally in favor of the National government, and against the equal amendatory rights of the States.”

So, in part, reads the fantastic new brief filed by EME Legal Counsel Wendy Murphy in our appeal to the First Circuit Court.  The arguments presented are clear, extremely well researched & presented and, frankly, irrefutable; please read the new brief here.
