Some 35 years ago, conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly and her allies were scoffed at and ridiculed for warning that a federal Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) would open the door to "gay marriage." After all, in the 1970s, virtually no one - save two men who tried to "marry" in Minnesota - had heard of such a thing. Last month, the Maryland Court of Appeals exonerated the ERA, at least on the "gay marriage" argument. The primary purpose of Maryland's ERA, approved by voters in 1972, "was to eliminate discrimination as between men and women as a class," Maryland Court of Appeals Judge Glenn T. Harrell Jr. wrote in the 4-3 majority opinion in Deane v. Conaway, issued Sept. 18.

As a result of the sudden political emergence of Arnold Schwarzenegger, high levels of immigration, and increased international adoptions, interest grew during the early twenty-first century in repealing the Constitution's restriction on presidential eligibility to natural-born citizens. A combination of academics, media outlets, a grassroots lobbying organization, and finally several members of Congress combined to push forward this constitutional revision to the presidency. This effort peaked along with Schwarzenegger's approval ratings in 2004 but has since lost momentum. The enormous difficulty of amending the Constitution rendered this sensible proposal an exercise largely in symbolic politics.
