Thank you for this. I’ve been reading a lot about this and even took part in some actions in DC today. Advocates consider the time limit void because it was in the preamble of the amendment and therefore not valid. What is the legal reasoning on that point?
I posted an image of the resolution in this Substack, you can check it out yourself but it seems to me it’s a resolution passed by Congress and the ratification deadline is in it. Congress has the authority to set ratification deadlines according to the Supreme Court, if it were not placed where it was, where would it go?
This article has a paywall in it (not all do). If you share to someone who is not a paid subscriber, they will be able to see it only up to the paywall about half way through.
Thank you so much for this. It was just the detail I needed to thoroughly understand it.

Thank you for the response. I’m going to look into it more.
Thank you. It’s disappointing but I appreciate you breaking down the facts.
Great article, Emily! (As always 🙂)
I've been trying to sift thru all the various bits & pieces of info & this really lays it out. Thank you!
Question on the share button at the bottom of the piece: is it ok to share to non paid subscribers & non subscribers?

That's what I thought, thanks!
