The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was first introduced in 1923. 100 years later, with 38 states having ratified it, should it be considered the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? Lindsay Langholz speaks with Kathleen Sullivan about the status of the ERA and why the ERA is more important than ever.  Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Lindsay Langholz, Sr Director of Policy and Program Guest: Kathleen Sullivan, Senior Counsel, Quinn, Emanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan Link: Video of Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, "The Equal Rights Amendment: How Congress Can Recognize Ratification and Enshrine Equality in Our Constitution" Link: The ERA Coalition Link: "We the Women," by Julie Suk Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: Podcast@ACSLaw.org Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube ----------------- Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of American Constitution Society 2023.

Is the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) dead or alive? The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing at the end of February to consider a resolution that would recognize some state ratifications of the ERA that were completed decades after Congress's deadline. Originally proposed in 1923 and adopted by Congress in 1972, the ERA would add a sex equality guarantee to the U.S. Constitution. Does Congress have constitutional power to remove the ratification deadline? What should it do about the states that tried to rescind their ratifications? And what difference does the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs make to the future of women's constitutional rights?Kathleen Sullivan testified at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the ERA on February 28, 2023, in addition to the House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the same subject in 2019.  Sullivan is the former dean and professor of law at Stanford Law School, and currently senior counsel at Quinn Emanuel. She is the co-author of a leading constitutional law textbook and dozens of law review articles including, most relevant to this episode, “Constitutional Constancy: Why Congress Should Cure Itself of Amendment Fever” (1996) and “Constitutionalizing Women's Equality” (2022).Jesse Wegman authored an op-ed in the New York Times,, “Why Can't We Make Women's Equality the Law of the Land?” (2022).

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid recaps the aboslute evisceration of Attorney General Merrick Garland that took place yesterday during the annual Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing. Garland got peppered with rightfully hostile questioning from GOP Senators on issues like the border, Hunter Biden, President Biden's classified documents, and the lack of action the DOJ took following the threat on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's life. In other news of the day, President Biden blames recent fentanyl deaths on former President Trump, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Biden will truck on with his student loan forgiveness plan, gives an update on his TikTok ban and refuses to offer any level of transparency regarding the origins of COVID-19. Also, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says American boots will eventually be on the ground in Ukraine's war against Russia, President Biden still refuses to visit East Palestine, Ohio, and Lori Lightfoot is a sore loser. Frank Morano, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Noam Laden, Bill O'Reilly, Bo Dietl and Ron Duguay join the program, and as always make sure you don't miss out on the Thursday installment of The Peerless Boilers Sid's Take Contest.

[00:30] The Tale of Two Elections (14 minutes) After three days of counting votes, the Associated Press has finally called the Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary for Kari Lake. In stark contrast, Fox News called Arizona as a Biden win on election night during the 2020 presidential election. In a moment of stunning hypocrisy, Morning Joe hosts said about Lake's election that “our form of American democracy is at risk if we start electing people who deny election results when their side loses”—the show's hosts and many others repeatedly argue that Donald Trump's first election win was illegitimate. [14:05] Dick Cheney Says the Quiet Part Out Loud (8 minutes) Former Vice President Dick Cheney stated in a political ad for his daughter Liz that there has never been a greater threat to the U.S. than Donald Trump, and that “there is nothing more important she will ever do than lead the effort to make sure Donald Trump is never again near the Oval Office.” This, of course, is the primary objective of the January 6 committee. [22:45] U.S. Economy Update (6 minutes) According to Rasmussen Reports, 62 percent of Americans think the U.S. is already in a recession. The Biden White House's economic decisions, budgets and spending plans have been disastrous for everyday Americans—but Pete Buttigieg believes electric cars will solve many of these economic woes. [28:25] Federal Bureau of Fabrication (12 minutes) During a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to confirm that the Trump-Russia collusion story was a hoax—or that the Hunter Biden laptop was not Russian disinformation. Also, January 6 prisoner Sean McHugh wrote in a letter to Gateway Pundit saying that Ray Epps encouraged him to go into the Capitol. In his letter, he questioned why Epps has not been prosecuted, even though many of the people he encouraged to go into the Capitol are currently sitting in jail. [40:15] Keep Sin Out (14 minutes) The world today is filled with so much sin. God says our nations “declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not” (Isaiah 1:9). Though we live in the world, we should not be of the world. We must not allow the world's sinful ways to take root in our lives. It will take God's intervention to save our sick society, just like it takes God's intervention to clean up our lives. We must get sin out and keep it out in order to receive the promised reward.

In a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on abortion rights on July 12, 2022, UC Berkeley professor and far leftist (but I repeat myself) Khiara Bridges demonstrated that even smart people can be wildly ignorant. She is also an arrogant ideologue who fancies herself clever. Read more...

Hour 2 of The Dawn Stensland Show: In a promo for the fifth season of his show “The Shop,” LeBron James discussed the Russian imprisonment of WNBA star Brittney Griner, criticizing America's response, stating she has been there for “over 110 days…I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?'” During the seventh day of the House's January 6th public hearings, the investigative committee played recorded testimony from former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and former Attorney General Bill Barr. Rioter Stephen Ayers told Rep. Stephanie Murphy that he was “just following” what President Trump had said when he broke into the Capitol building. The committee attempted to establish a link between far-right militants and Donald Trump's White House. Charles McElwee—Editor of Real Clear Pennsylvania—joins the show to discuss John Fetterman's Senate campaign raising a record-setting $11 million in the months of April, May, and June. Dr. Mehmet Oz is expected to release his three-month fund-raising numbers by the end of the week. McElwee also talks about Governor Tom Wolf vetoing the bipartisan “Fairness in Women's Sports Act,” and a collection of Pennsylvania Republicans creating a “Never Mastriano” super PAC to prevent PA State Senator Doug Mastriano from becoming governor. On Friday, Elon Musk announced that he was walking away from his $44 billion agreement to purchase Twitter. Musk claimed the deal was scrapped over the company's reluctance to share pertinent information regarding the number of “bot” and “spam” accounts on the platform. Twitter has since filed a lawsuit. During a rally in Anchorage, Alaska, former President Donald Trump had several unflattering things to say about the Tesla CEO. During a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, UC Berkeley School of Law Professor Khiara Bridges accused Sen. Josh Hawley of being transphobic for saying that he believed only women are capable of becoming pregnant. While appearing on Meet the Press, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo told Chuck Todd that the economy is strong, and we are “talking ourselves into a recession.”

      Bio   Jelani Anglin is Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of Good Call. Good Call’s mission is to ensure that anyone who is arrested will have immediate access to a lawyer via its hotline 833-3-Goodcall. Jelani  is a community organizer and serial entrepreneur. During High School, Jelani started his first online business, for which he was awarded the NYS FBLA Business Plan of the Year award, and was featured on national TV. Prior to founding Good Call, Jelani worked on a variety of issue-based and electoral campaigns, in addition to being a community organizer at AirBnb. Growing up in Far Rockaway, NY, and organizing in low-income communities across the east coast, Jelani experienced firsthand the pitfalls that exist for those oppressed by the criminal justice system. He works every day to better communities similar to where he grew up, and hopes his work will be a stepping stone for other young black males. In addition to being Co-executive Director at Good Call, Jelani is an Echoing Green fellow and a Civil Justice Fellow at Blue Ridge Labs. Resources   Good Call   Mastery by Robert Greene   The 50th Law by Robert Greene   News Roundup   Twitter, Facebook, and Google dominate the headlines in another week of near chaos as tech and public policy still fail to see eye-to-eye on privacy, hate speech, and workplace issues, and Jelani Anglin is my gust   Twitter   Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Called Rep. Ihan Omar Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey called Representative Ihan Omar the same day he met with President Trump, after she started receiving death threats following Trump’s tweet of her giving a speech alongside images from the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Washington Post says he called her to tell her he stood by his company’s position to keep the tweet up because he concluded it didn’t violate Twitter’s rules. He also said that taking it down wouldn’t have done much since the tweet had already been widely shared. Dorey also said the company needed to do a better job monitoring for and removing hate speech and harassment.  At the meeting with Trump, Trump complained to Dorsey that too many of his followers had been removed. But Dorsey reportedly said that it removes followers based on how much spam they tweet and that he also lost a lot of his own followers.     Twitter won’t ban more hate speech because Republican politicians would be affected   So Twitter won’t ban certain hate speech, apparently because certain GOP politicians would also be affected by it. During an all hands meeting someone asked why the company could ban Islamic State propaganda but not white supremacist content. An executive and engineer responded saying societal norms allow some Arabic language to be banned in order to sweep up ISIS tweets, but that societal norms wouldn’t allow sweeping up politicians’ tweets flagged as hate speech.   So yeah … Just total armchair policymaking at Twitter. Although, to be fair, Twitter did release a statement saying that this approach did not reflect the real approach at all.   But why won’t Twitter take down David Duke, for example? Not even Jack Dorsey knows since, when he was asked at a Ted event to explain, he just punted.   In any case, reading all of the news reports it’s clear that Twitter has absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on or how to design algorithms that prevent it from being used as a political propaganda machine. But the company is reportedly working on a way to make the context for political tweets more transparent—whatever the hell that means.   And meanwhile, we’re just supposed to sit here and deal with the mass shootings, and deal with the death threats and there’s absolutely not a single mechanism in this democracy that can handle it?   Facebook   New York AG announces investigation into Facebook’s email sweep   Recall that last week we reported that Facebook swept up some 1.5 million user emails to help it build new products and services. Well, users didn’t authorize the use of their emails for that purpose. So New York Attorney General Letitia James is now investigating.   Canada promises to sue Facebook for privacy violations   The Washington Post reports that up in Canada, regulators are planning to sue Facebook for breaking privacy laws. Canada began an investigation following the Cambridge Analytica scandal and found that the company’s privacy protections are merely “superficial”.   Ireland is also investigating Facebook   The Hill reports that Ireland is now also investigating Facebook for exposing the passwords of “hundreds of millions” of users . Ireland’s looking into whether the company violated the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).   Facebook hires Patriot Act writer as General Counsel   Facebook has hired Jennifer Newstead as its new General Counsel. Newstead previously helped draft the Patriot Act under George W. Bush when she was an attorney in the Bush administration. She’d previously worked for OMB, Justice, and the White House. Before she was appointed as Facebook’s GC, she was Trump’s appointed legal adviser at the State Department according to Politico.   Look for Facebook’s Q1 earnings report tomorrow (Wed., 5/1) Facebook is scheduled to report its first quarter earnings tomorrow, Wednesday May 1, so keep an eye out for that.   Facebooking while black   A report in USA Today discusses how Facebook censors black users from talking about race. So you’re going to want to check that out.   Google changes harassment and discrimination reporting protocol   Google has changed its reporting and harassment protocol for harassment and discrimination. The change comes after two employees who helped organize the walkout of some 20, 000 other employees in protest of Google’s forced arbitration for such complaints claimed the company retaliated against them. Google will now have a dedicated site where employees can report harassment and discrimination, and the company will also now make arbitration an option for employees.
