Let's keep an eye on this!!!

June 10 1963. JFK, now considered a Republican, fyi, signed equal pay for equal work, has been the law for 59 years. The rest is about abolishing all difference between the genders, like putting women and girls in the draft and in combat, which sadly and tragically has mostly already happened.

I butted heads with RBG on this issue back in 1980, surprised to see this play.

True calamity if it becomes part of the Constitution.

The issue was over the time limit qualifiers to the approval process.   She wanted to ignore this and I argued that a C'l amendment should show broad societal accord at the same time.  She had the grace to acknowledge the point.

I also argued that the statutory interpretation dictum that statutes should not be read so as to make them meaningless meant that the ERA would be used to impose "comparable worth doctrine" because, as Doug notes, equal pay is already the law.
