					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s another episode in an a process.  Each generation of &#039;progressives&#039; has less and less  of an interest in truth (&quot;I say it&#039;s spinach&quot;) and less and less of an interest in conscientious regard for procedure.  It&#039;s all about what they want, NOW.  
==
Pet peeve of mine: you have rights in your capacity as a person and you have rights in your capacity as a citizen.  You can have rights in your capacity as a party to an agreement or contract.  You do not have rights in your capacity as a woman.  Rights are commonly contingent on considerations of status.  Whether you are a citizen or not.  Whether you have reached your majority or not.  Whether you are deemed competent or not.  Whether you have suffered a disgrace (e.g. a criminal conviction or a bankruptcy or a civil judgment for fraud) or not.  Whether you are married or not.  The question is invariably (1) what is a right, (2) what sort of law defines the right, and (3) given that, in what way does your status &lt;i&gt;as a woman&lt;/i&gt; regulate your possession or exercise of the right..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[huxley on January 18, 2025 at 11:34 pm:
&quot;I do wonder if this last-minute stuff  ... makes the Biden administration look even more clownish and corrupt to voters, and it will backfire against Democrats as they attempt to rebuild their party for future elections.&quot;
Given the 6 (to 16?) staffers supporting Biden in his bubble, I could see them colluding on an FU to the Republican voters who ousted the Dem&#039;s from power AND an FU to the Dem Party leadership that kaboshed their continued potential gravy train for 4 more years.
But on the latter option they would really have had to be pretty delusional themselves.

Equivalent to &quot;woman scorned&quot;... and all that ?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One (among many) odd things about the Biden &quot;declaration&quot; is that the president has no role in constitutional amendments. Amendments are proposed by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress and then must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.

					<description><![CDATA[The Atlantic has an interesting article, sympathetic to the ERA but not delusional that is now a new legal amendment.
_____________________________________

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;All of their [ERA] efforts have failed.&lt;/b&gt; In 2021, a federal judge dismissed a case brought by two states seeking to have the ERA recognized; two years later, an appellate court affirmed the ruling. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a staunch supporter of the ERA, opposed the effort, saying in 2020 that advocates needed “to start over” because the deadline had elapsed. In 2021, the House passed a resolution to repeal the deadline, but it never cleared the Senate. And just last month, the archivist, Colleen Shogan, and the deputy archivist, William Bosanko, issued a statement saying that they could not legally publish the ERA, citing “established legal, judicial, and procedural decisions.”

&lt;b&gt;As a last resort, ERA backers have urged Biden to simply instruct the archivist to publish it anyway.&lt;/b&gt;

--&quot;That’s Not How Constitutional Amendments Work&quot;
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/no-biden-can-t-change-the-constitution/ar-AA1xovTT&lt;/i&gt;

So I&#039;d say the Biden/Harris announcement was a consolation prize to feminists and an FU to the country.

Win-win.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Center for American Progress is the _the_ central clearing house of Democratic/Progressive lobbying and thinking, and has been for decades.  On the subject of the ERA:

https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-era-solidifies-womens-rights-in-the-constitution-as-the-28th-amendment/

Note that they&#039;re pretending this is real.  This reinforces the idea that Joe,  yet again, is simply a mouthpiece.  He&#039;s just not there anymore, everything he&#039;s supposedly doing and apparently saying during these last days is simply him being a sock puppet.  The clemencies, the regulations, the &#039;amendment&#039;, all of it.

(I&#039;m not saying he would necessarily disagree with any of it if he _was_ there, but as it stands it doesn&#039;t matter if he would or not.)

I look for the Left to try legal actions at some point based on the &#039;28th Amendment&#039; in sympathetic courts, the Trump Admin must be ready to stomp hard on such efforts, both legally and in PR terms.  I&#039;m not 100% certain they&#039;ll try it, it&#039;ll probably depend on how they &#039;read the room&#039; in political terms, but the idea is in their minds, I have no doubt about that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Kate, I agree the proof is a problem. As often the case. 
But I wish the John Hur report could be used as a basis, or starting point, or more. 
Stating essentially Biden is too senile to be held accountable should be good for SOMEthing! 
In my fantasy, that is,

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve wondered about this.

Now that it can&#039;t effect the just past Presidential election, MSM sources are starting to report what they kept hidden until now, just how bad Biden&#039;s mental deterioration was, and how far back its started. 

I&#039;ve often thought that Biden&#039;s radical leftist handlers just thought up the most radical things that they wanted to accomplish, crafted Executive Orders to attain those goals, and slapped them down in front of a brain dead President Biden for him to sign or, perhaps, they presented Biden with a stack of &quot;routine&quot; things to sign, these E.O.s included in the stack, each item of which Biden didn&#039;t bother to--or couldn&#039;t read and fully comprehend.

Since there are reports that Biden doesn&#039;t remember that he signed certain Executive Orders, would it be possible to attack their validity on the basis that Biden was &quot;non compos mentis&quot;  when he signed them, making these E.O.s invalid.*

Or, could this line of attack also be pursued against any of the legislation which Biden has signed into law?

					<description><![CDATA[I can see moving the Overton Window as a motive, also another Farewell FU.

However, I do wonder if this last-minute stuff -- pardoning Hunter, medals for people like Soros, and now this 28th Amendment bluff -- makes the Biden administration look even more clownish and corrupt to voters, and it will backfire against Democrats as they attempt to rebuild their party for future elections.

Surely they are not going to pretend that the 28th Amendment is actually now part of the Constitution except Evil Dictator Trump exceeded his power and took it out.]]></description>
