βIn 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid."
Congress originally set the ratification deadline at March 1979, and later voted to extend it to June 1982.

This fundamental interpretive shift is noteworthy and prompts serious #questions regarding the #RFRA's #congruity with the #Constitution.
#ConstitutionalAmendments like the #1stAmendment must not be #altered or #misconstrued through the #enactment of #ordinary #legislation like the #RFRA. Such #alterations must be viewed as #undermining the inherent #authority of the #constitution and its #amendments, potentially creating #legal #discrepancies and #loopholes. (6/8)
