ERA ratification faces key House vote

Episode Notes

Nearly 100 years. That's how long it took for women to get a step closer to equal rights in the U.S. Constitution when Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment last month. But don't make it official yet! Conservatives argue it's too little, too late -- they claim the ERA missed the ratification deadline decades ago. POLITICO legislative reporter Eleanor Mueller explains this week's House vote on whether to lift that deadline.
