New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand says at a news conference an hour after President Joe Biden issued a statement of his belief that the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified that state attempts to rescind Amendment ratifications lack legal validity according to clear precedent and that the Courts have repeatedly rejected rescission attempts for amendments like the 19th and 14th Amendments given that the American Bar Association confirms rescissions hold no constitutional validity.

Biden announced today that the Equal Rights Amendment is the "law of the land," but the Justice Department and the national archivist disagree.

The remarks were largely a symbolic gesture of support for a century-long campaign to enshrine gender equality in the Constitution. But advocates said they could add heft to a future legal fight.

The move has no immediate legal force but will likely spark lawsuits that advocates hope will restore abortion rights.

Biden’s statement has no legal force and a White House official said courts would have to decide whether the amendment is a valid part of America’s constitution

The ERA’s deadline expired decades ago, but the president argues that recent approvals by three states put the amendment over the top.

President Joe Biden said Friday that he believes the Equal Rights Amendment, which guarantees equal protections regardless of sex, is the “law of the land” but stopped short of ordering the U.S. archivist to publish the constitutional amendment.

President Joe Biden's unilateral ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment is really an attack on federal courts.

The Democrats who backed Joe Biden's imaginary 28th Amendment have lost the right to complain about authoritarianism and threats to democracy.

Almost immediately after being sworn in as America’s 47th president, Donald Trump reportedly will sign 200 executive orders across a wide-range of issues, despite, as critics note, him having Republican majorities in the House and Senate and could achieve many of his goals through legislation.

If Biden really wanted to make the ERA the “law of the land,” he would have needed to direct the head of the National Archives to ignore the Department of Justice. But he didn't do that—or really anything for women's rights during his presidency.
