Equality before the law is fundamental to the Rule of Law and foundational to liberty. The Constitution exists to protect our liberty, so I have long advocated including a federal equal protection clause in the Constitution.
When seeking to amend the Constitution, Congress must abide by its limitations. The Constitution allows Congress to propose amendments, but it reserves almost all authority over ratification of amendments to the states.
This means that it is constitutionally suspect to put a deadline for ratification of a constitutional amendment in the resolving clause of the legislation proposing the amendment, rather than in the text of the amendment itself, which is what the states actually consider.
