ERA: Equality for whom? Full text of Jan. 20, 2006 order and decision and order Profile of the feminist judge who issued the ruling Gay unions fracture Maryland's black caucus   Legal scholar Eugene Volokh writes: "PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY SAID IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS: A California trial court has just held that the California opposite-sex-only marriage requirement is unconstitutional; and part of its argument — though only part — was that it violated the ban on sex discrimination in the state constitution, since the opposite-sex-only rule necessarily discriminated based on sex. ... Had the ERA been enacted at the federal level, it would have further raised the bar against sex classifications, and thus made decisions like the California and Massachusetts one more likely. ... The California decision — and the Massachusetts decision, and a similar Hawaii decision that has since been reversed by the Hawaii voters — shows us that ... the anti-ERA forces, much as I probably disagree with most of them on many things, have proved prescient." 3-14-05  A Nevada lawmaker's attempt to revive the federal Equal Rights Amendment has been thwarted by a legal opinion finding the amendment has expired.  2-24-05   Legal scholar says Massachusetts decision proves Phyllis Schlafly was right about ERA UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh writes: "PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY SAID IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS. ... So the Massachusetts ERA did contribute to constitutional protection for homosexual marriage -- as the opponents of the ERA predicted, and as the supporters of the ERA vehemently denied." 11-18-03
