Trump regime fails civics (again)

There's an article in the Washington Post about the Trump thugocracy's failure to certify the Equal Rights Amendment even though the ERA has been approved by the requisite 38 states.

The article says the House is trying to rectify this by removing the deadline for the ERA's ratification. It shouldn't even be necessary to do this, because the deadline is found nowhere in the text of the ERA. But the Trump regime says this won't count either, and that they'll still refuse to certify it. The article says of this move, "Even if the Senate cleared the measure, the Justice Department has ruled it would be unconstitutional."

Donald, you idiot, the Justice Department can't rule if something is unconstitutional. That's what courts do. That's not something the executive branch does. Besides, removing the deadline wouldn't be unconstitutional anyway.
