President Joe Biden said Friday that the Equal Rights Amendment, first proposed in 1923, should be considered ratified and part of the U.S. Constitution.

Or not. Biden can’t change the Constitution, because the Constitution doesn’t allow him to.

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.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was correct when she said, before she passed, that the ERA deadline is expired, and this has to “start over.”
