It’s not a law, it’s a Constitutional amendment. So passage by Congress isn’t enough, it needs to be ratified by the states too. And it wasn’t ratified by enough states (38) at the time.
But almost 50 years later, Virginia became the 38th state to ratify it. Are they too late? Biden just said they are not too late, but this question will probably have to go through the courts.
Fahhhhhhk.
This always makes me angry. Congress passed it in 1972. It’s been around for that long. In what way does it really honestly need to be reinterpreted?
It’s the law. Just follow it.
I’m going to interpret thieft and speeding laws.
