ABA Resolution

“What does the legal profession think?”

  • On August 6th, 2024, after a year of scholarly study of the issues at hand, the American Bar Association passed Resolution 601 which makes the following points:
    • Time limits on an amendment are inconsistent with Article V
    • Article V does not permit rescissions of ratifications
    • In accordance with Article V we urge implementation of the 28th Amendment (Equal Rights)

“Thus, as of Virginia’s ratification in January, 2020, the ERA has satisfied all constitutional requirements to become the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”
