A deadline refers to the time by which something must be completed.
I was a little unsure about the actual reason for the word 'looming,' so I looked it up. In psychology, looming refers to the fact that if something rapidly gets bigger, it's perceived as getting closer.
I guess they use this, because as deadlines become more relevant in our head (ie. as they BEGIN to get closer) we start to obsess with them (ie. enlarge them), therefore making them seem closer than they actually are.
That's just my thoughts on it. Hope that helped :)

Proposed constitutional amendment to ban discrimination by sex?
The Equal Rights Amendment was proposed in 1972. It said that equal rights under any federal, state, or local law could not be denied because of gender. To become part of the U.S. Constitution, the amendment had to be ratified by 38 states - that is, approved by a statewide vote - but only 35 states ratified it before the deadline, so the amendment did not become law.
