Men’s group and ACLU urge Supreme Court to hear challenge to male-only military draft
The Supreme Court will decide as early as this week whether to hear a constitutional challenge to the male-only registration requirement for the draft filed by a group called the National Coalition for Men.
The group is asking the justices to reconsider a 1981 decision that upheld the Military Selective Service Act under which men but not women are required to register for the draft. Key to the court’s ruling, which was decided by a court made up of all men, was its observation that “women as a group…unlike men as a group, are not eligible for combat.”
