Question:
		Although my knowledge of the law and courts is limited,
don't lawyers use
	1)	the Constitution
	2)	Federal, State and local laws
	3)	Similiar cases which were decided in their favor.
		to win?

Having the Equal Rights Amendment would give women a tool to use 
in court for proving discrimination.  When attempting to reverse
society's inequalities, every possible tool should be given to
those being discriminated against.   The constitution cuts across 
state boundaries, therefore ERA will give strong support to all.
