Equal Rights Amendment to get Senate vote this week, Schumer says - The Washington Post

The Senate, then, is expected to vote this week on a bipartisan resolution introduced by Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) that would remove the arbitrary deadline of 1982 and, thus, would recognize the ERA as a valid, 28th Amendment to the Constitution. 

"The ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment would finally provide a constitutional remedy against sex discrimination — pushing our country one step closer to finally achieving equal justice under the law," Schumer said on Monday. "It has been exactly 100 years since the first ERA was proposed in Congress. American women cannot afford to wait 100 more."
