If the fully-ratified (January 27, 2020) Equal Rights Amendment (“ERA”) was published by the Archivist as the 28th Amendment, it would make VP Kamala Harris, and all women, actually equal citizens for the first time in our Constitution.
Due to a comment on my post, about the ERA needing to be published so Trump does not come up with another reason to disqualify her, I have to update (my post, but I cannot figure out how to edit it. Someone please tell me. I’ve looked & looked. Thank you!)
HERE IS MY UPDATE:
B4 the nomination next week, Biden needs to make Kamala an equal citizen under the Constitution. Women are not clearly even “person(s)” under the Constitution — certainly not textually and not under originalism — that’s why we needed the 19th Amd just to be able to VOTE!
Biden has the affirmative Constitutional duty and POWER to direct the Archivist to publish the ERA NOW under the Art. II, § 3, (literally a phone call would suffice!) TAKE CARE duty: The President “shall (must) take Care that the laws be faithfully executed” (carried out), here, it is the law, 1 U.S. Code §106b, that makes it a mandatory, non-discretionary duty of the Archivist to publish all Amendments that have been ratified by ¾ of the States (now 38) in the Constitution.
Trump’s immunity decision strengthened that power:
“[T]he courts have ‘no power to control [the President’s] discretion’ when he acts pursuant to the powers invested exclusively in him by the Constitution.”
Well I have posted this on My Substack and no one has even bothered looking at it 🥲 BUT I Also sent it to Vp Harris HQ AND GOT A MESSAGE BACK THANKING ME FOR CONTACTING THEM. Sooo I responded right back asking them to please not throw this by the wayside because it affects VP HARRIS and every woman. But that Biden needs to read this. I haven’t heard back, but this is Sunday night.
Sooo I took it 2 Steps further! I figured screw it ! I sent it to So many People and haven’t heard anything yet I will go straight to the place it needs to go!
I sent it to VP HARRIS although I know it’s tough right now she’s picking her VP for the Ballot. I hope it’s Shapiro!
Then I sent it straight to POTUS . President Biden himself !! I can’t think of anything else than that already. Let’s see if SOMETHING COMES OF IT! I hope so!💙
Biden must NOT reduce his powers before Harris is elected as he will need to stay in power via Harris after the election regardless of the vote which will be challenged. Civil war if we must to preserve democracy. Founding fathers would approve since Biden now has the power. After Harris fixes laws then she can remove the extreme powers for the next President's. She must to save democracy.
She cannot “fix” reproductive rights laws via Congress — they have no textual Constitutional authority to pass any such laws, re abortion, IVF, contraception, lgbt rights, etc unless the ERA is published first. Read my article if you have or my Daily Kos article which is updated. See my recent comment below.
I sent this to Meidas Touch yesterday too! Today… thinking cap tells me send it to Occupy Democrats!! If I can find the link and I’m sure I will lol. I belong to them too . I’m gonna send it to every group that’s influential that I know! 🙄whistling lol
Kamala needs a boost among YOUTH VOTERS & all WOMEN. SHE NEEDS TO PUSH BIDEN TO PUBLISH THE ERA NOW. It will be s show of her strength and will actually make it legally textually constitutional for Congress to codify Roe, as she has promised, & help Congressional Dem Candidates win!
Here’s my SM post, my updated Daily Kos article & if anyone can tell me how to edit this substack article, I want to do so today. Thank you! Also, my ERA Legal Blog has been updated with this same Daily Kos article. https://ArlaineRockey.com/equal-rights-for-women. If you would copy and paste my sm post to your SM, I would truly appreciate it:
@KamalaHarris prove your power to stop abortion bans NOW in #Fight4ReproFreedom wk! Cong can’t #CodifyRoe w/o #ERA PUBLISHED.
My daughter is doubtful of Kamala’s success over tRump and is worried but as I told her she, like I used to, leaves the news on while doing her daily chores and she hears, as I used to, all the talking heads and their opinions and etc etc…it can be confusing I told her. That’s why I stopped because it’s not news any longer. It’s ratings. It’s doom and gloom that gets those ratings.
Unfortunately post on Substack do not have an edit option like others and it’s direly needed. If you could copy, paste it onto notes on you phone, do the corrections, then copy and paste the corrected version back in place. Should work. I’ll try it on something.
I tried. I couldn’t paste back over what I had highlighted. If I create a new post & delete the old one, I lose the initial link, which I don’t want to do. I can just create a new post or just leave my daily kos link in my comments. But Thank you for trying to help me!
When we’re that young we can’t see past the next night or our heads up our ass and we don’t know any better. I don’t remember begging my mother to sign for me as you had to in NC but the next thing I knew I was married over Easter break. I think she was afraid I’d get pregnant. Thanks mama God rest your soul
No TY needed 😊 if it helps I’ll be So Happy! If it doesn’t I’ll be pissed lol. Not at Scott cuz he always tries his hardest at Everything he gets thrown at him. I’ll be pissed we have to find another angle lol 😂
Thank you for your work on this. I will share it everywhere I’m able to. I’m appalled that the ERA has been ratified & as yet unpublished! One more reason to hate djt!! 🤬🤬
We were pushing for the ERA when I was in my 20s & now I’m 74, this is outrageous. I despise those corrupt 6 on the scotus, Thomas & Alito should be impeached & Gorsuch, Kavenaugh, & Barrett need to be charged with lying to the Senate.
I’m gonna be 69 on Aug. 2nd and I cannot BELIEVE WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ANY OF US AND THIS COUNTRY SINCE THAT ORANGE DEVIL CAME DOWN THAT F’EN ELEVATOR! Mary Trump, his niece, is right. Everything he says is a lie and he will if he can, ruin, (destroy?) us!
I unchecked like bc there’s really nothing to like about anything TFG has done. If you want the raw truth go to the Daily Kos opinion article (which is inside my article above & read all links within that).
I sent this to Scott again just now , asked him to look at it and see what he thinks and also would he post it on his Substack. I also posted it on mine 🤗
I remember when in the early 80’s when it didn’t pass and I’m thinking WTH? We are human beings with brains! Why would the ETA not pass? It made no sense. It makes no sense that it took so long either.
Back then when interviewed for jobs I was asked, “who’s going to watch your children?” “How will you get to work?” “Will your husband allow you to work third shift?” I wanted to leap across his desk and head butt him but I answered his idiotic questions-that time. Only that time.
Then you went to a fine school. Unfortunately I didn’t, I was two hours away and had to stay near home at the time so attended a local RCC you’ve most likely never heard of a two others after. I am however a UNC fan all the way
Nothing wrong with that! I unfortunately only got as far as getting my GED to get a Man’s job because it was higher wages to raise 3 sons. I was always INDEPENDENT at least. Never asked anyone for anything.
I can REMEMBER back in those days! Back in the damn 80s. I was a KID in 72 when I got married @ 16 had my oldest son at 17! What an I.d.i.o.t. I was!!! Anyway back then you could NOT even get credit on your own BUT if the azzhole left you hanging and didn’t pay any of those debts they would COME AFTER YOU! Go figure-eh? That’s just 1 Example of “How It was” and THEY — TRASY TRUMP AND JD want us to go back? lolololol. 🤣🤣🤣WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!! 💙💙💙💙 #VoteKamala2024

Thanks mama God rest your soul
Girl I was in a similar predicament. I had to do it backwards too! . I got married young and had two kids by 21, so against my doctor’s opinion of course I had my tubes tied at 23. I had to go back to college classes part time for years because I had to work full time. When I left the husband everything had been in bit our names but his name was the “master” name and he went out charging new car new tv and junk in my name! Then filed bankruptcy and I had to make payments on his back taxes for a year!
Got it! Also… I have this sent to Harris now. Just a little bit ago. I hope it goes smoothly and to Prevent Biden. If not, I don’t know what else I can think of 🤔💭
I bought a brand new iPhone 4 months ago ( upgraded from what I have-it was on Sale) but up to the what-15? lol That price is crazy’
Anyway I’m JUST getting used to this one and I’m scared to try to do the upgrade myself. I don’t want to lose all my notes, photos, bookmarks on X and my Substack! So if just sit here looking at it lol 🥴
⏰🗝️URGENT UPDATE!!!
Due to a comment on my post, about the ERA needing to be published so Trump does not come up with another reason to disqualify her, I have to update (my post, but I cannot figure out how to edit it. Someone please tell me. I’ve looked & looked. Thank you!)

******But Art. II, § 1, Cl. 5 says you have to be a “Person” who is at least 35 and has lived in the US 14 years. *******
Please report on this!! People don’t realize that Trump could try to remove her from the ballot after she’s nominated!!!
& SCOTUS is CONSERVATIVE!!!
You’re right! It’s urgent! Biden must do it now!

Look at current new powers. I think there is a way.

Do you know how to edit a post. I have some typos & I can’t figure out a way to edit it.

There is a way but it occurs after your post is made and hours go by. Not sure how to do it sooner.
Yes it worked! Highlight, share to yourself in notes, corrections made, copy and past back to post. Then you can safely delete the old one
I tried. I couldn’t paste back over what I had highlighted. If I create a new post & delete the old one, I lose the initial link, which I don’t want to do. I can just create a new post or just leave my daily kos link in my comments. But Thank you for trying to help me!
I’ll try
Highlighted and shared it to notes,

Did you go to UNC? I grad in ‘84.
Then you went to a fine school. Unfortunately I didn’t, I was two hours away and had to stay near home at the time so attended a local RCC you’ve most likely never heard of a two others after. I am however a UNC fan all the way

Yep mom had to sign for me God rest her soul. I wish she would have refused to sign lol.
Oh me too. I think it was her idea, to me it’s all a blur
Girl I was in a similar predicament. I had to do it backwards too! . I got married young and had two kids by 21, so against my doctor’s opinion of course I had my tubes tied at 23.

Wasn’t it Something Else back then n🤬
Thank you!!
Got it! Also… I have this sent to Harris now. Just a little bit ago. I hope it goes smoothly and to Prevent Biden. If not, I don’t know what else I can think of 🤔💭
Not Prevent Biden( damn phone changes the letters on me 🤬) I meant President Biden
I got it. I tried living without auto correct and it’s impossible but it does sometimes change the entire meaning of a sentence.
I bought a brand new iPhone 4 months ago ( upgraded from what I have-it was on Sale) but up to the what-15? lol That price is crazy’
Anyway I’m JUST getting used to this one and I’m scared to try to do the upgrade myself. I don’t want to lose all my notes, photos, bookmarks on X and my Substack! So if just sit here looking at it lol 🥴
Pass the ERA; it’s about time don’t you think.?
