Three-year ERA vote extension urged by law expert
Washington AP reports a House Judiciary subcommittee was asked to consider extending the ERA ratification period by three years instead of the five already proposed. Law professor Willan van Alstyne of the College of William and Mary argued a total 10 years is reasonable for this controversial amendment. He said a three-year extension would prevent any fair question about the integrity of the board thus adopted.
