2. That's Kind Of Where I Was Going With This...

If I remember correctly...

The congress had passed the ERA, and it went to the states. At first many states jumped on board. It began to take longer for each succeeding state to get onboard, and by the time it was two states from approval, the political landscape had changed.

States started looking for a way to back out of their earlier approval, and the congress was quite content to just let it die.

Just wondering if such a scenario is the likely outcome from now on in this polarized nation.

Also wondering if any DUers have the constitutional ins and outs on this matter.
