Interesting developments in #ERA litigation. I was on a call with the parties & the judge two weeks ago in the Alabama federal case, when the lawyer for the AGs from AL, LA & SD told the judge they were dismissing the case with the agreement of the Archivist. This was AFTER ...
a group from Oregon filed a motion to intervene on behalf of women & in favor of ERA. The judge had not yet allowed the Oregon people to intervene when the AGs & Archivist filed a notice of dismissal of the case on 2/27/20. The Oregon people nonetheless filed an objection to ..
AGs dismissal on grounds it attempts to establish an agreement of the parties re: ratification of ERA. A dismissal notice is supposed to be a simple statement that the parties agree to dismiss, but AGs & Archivist tried to use the notice improperly to the disadvantage of ERA...
Unfortunately, Oregon people don’t have authority to file pleadings unless the judge allows the motion to intervene, & bc the case is dismissed, there’s no case for them to intervene in. Meanwhile, the same AGs who filed in AL along w/AGs from NE & TN filed motions to ..
intervene in the VA ERA lawsuit in DC fed. court. 3 of the 5 AGs fighting against ERA in DC are from states that tried to rescind their ratifications, but 2 states that voted to rescind, Idaho & Nebraska, have not joined the anti-women lawsuit in DC. Kudos to Idaho & Nebraska!
Bottom line, a bunch of men have been fighting about women’s equality in Virginia & Alabama, while the only WOMEN-led lawsuit to enforce ERA as the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution is still going strong in MA federal court. Amicus briefs are lining up and battle ...
lines are now drawn between federal courts in Massachusetts and D.C. Women-led litigation should be supported! This is the most important legal battle in the history of women’s rights in America. When LGBTQ community was fighting in court for gay marriage, it was gay rights ...
groups that filed lawsuits and led the way. AGs helped with amicus briefs but they were NOT the faces of the lawsuits. AGs everywhere should be supporting women & women-led litigation. This isn’t about politics & elections; it’s about WOMEN. AGs should support women, not...
act as though women need them to speak for us, or rescue us from the big bad Archvist. We’re quite capable of filing lawsuits & mobilizing as a unified force to ensure that basic equality for women is firmly established in the US Constitution once and for all.
