U.S. House removes ERA ratification deadline, one obstacle to enactment

[BigmanPigman]

The U.S. House gave the Equal Rights Amendment a temporary new lease on life Thursday by voting to remove a 1982 deadline for ratification by the states.

The 232-to-183 vote, on a resolution introduced by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), pushes the issue to the Senate, where Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) have introduced a similar measure.

1. Will probably die on McConnell's desk like everything else

But we can say “Republicans don’t want women to have equal rights” at election time.
Question: if we take the Senate in Nov can all the stuff that died on McConnell’s desk be brought to a vote or do we have to start over in the House?

2. I don't know the answer...good question though.

With any luck we will be rewarded for the past 3 years of suffering and not have to start fresh.
