It think that such an amendment would result in the underlying Constitutional Amendment itself being rendered self-defeating in terms of its ultimate goals. So I will vote Nay.

Perhaps a better wording would have achieved the goal of the amendment author, but I don't know what that would be and none such was arrived at in the deliberations.

Is Clarence going to introduce his text as an amendment?

I figure it is best to separate my amendments....

Amendment 1

No organization shall be required to alter its membership policies as a consequence of this amendment

I am sorry Clarence, but there is no indication of how this would be incorporated into the text. Therefore I have to flag this under Article 4, Section 2, Clause 1 of the OSPR. Could you please revise the text?

I'm sorry about that... this is intended to go underneath the entire ERA



Scott- I expected to get this designated unfriendly...but can you please explain why organizations such as womens' clubs or fraternal organizations should be expected to open their membership to all when gender exclusivity is one of the purposes of their existence?

I just don't feel that the amendment is necessary.  If it were, then I'd expect such a provision would have been included in the original text as it was written in 1923.

Also, after some thought, I've come to interpret the text of the ERA as it mainly addresses the government's relationship with its citizens, rather than those of private organizations/businesses with their members/consumers.

My concern is not over the sponsors' intentions for this amendment... or the President's or the AG's...my concern is how any court in the nation can interpret any piece of it for a situation. It is much too broad

However-I can see the writing on the wall. This will pass and pass as is...my amendments will not. I will not be proposing any more amendments to allow us to move on
