They have done this in the past. Any case that has ever been tried, the legislature has directed that the supreme court of the United States denied the right." Mr Emmanuel Celler "If the legal rights amendment applied the remedy, I would be among the first to rise to its support. It does not. It is I'm sorry to state a deft, ear and eye-catching slogan deceiving in its simplicity and dangerous because of that simplicity. It's a pure abstraction and the women themselves don't agree as to what equality means and that's true because even the fingers on your hand are not equal and between you and me the only equality that exists is in a cemetery."
