The Equal Rights Amendment suffered twin setbacks this week after a federal appeals court shot down an effort to force it into the Constitution, and the nominee to lead the National Archives reaffirmed she won’t act on her own to add it to the government’s founding document.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said Congress seems to have the power to set deadlines for ratification, and the deadline for the ERA passed decades ago without enough states signing on.

The three-judge panel said at the very least, the question is not clear enough for courts to step in and order the national archivist to add the ERA as the 28th Amendment.

“In conclusion, the States have not clearly and indisputably shown that the archivist had a duty to certify and publish the ERA or that Congress lacked the authority to place a time limit in the proposing clause of the ERA,” wrote Judge Robert L. Wilkins in an opinion for the unanimous court issued Tuesday.
