Liberal groups blame President Trump for states not ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment Liberal groups are blaming President Trump for failure of the states to ratify the ERA amendment to the Constitution.  Judges have ruled that the ratification deadline for the 1972 amendment is valid.  The original deadline was 1979 but was amended to 1982.  They say President Trump's appointment of conservative judges will kill the amendment (the one that died in 1982 and not resurrected by ratification under Clinton nor the Kenyan guy). Liberals also fail to recognize that equal rights for all citizens was granted within the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.  Considering the recent Twitter meltdown about registering for Selective Service, the ERA has a bright side.  The Selective Service law would have to be amended to include all persons 18-25 years old, including those identifying as female to receive federal college aid, services or employment.   KEK, can imagine all those liberal college females terrified and crying about registering for Selective Service and about to be drafted in President Trump's Army.
