I’m not sure why the Supreme Court should rule the draft of women unconstituional, do you? Especially after decades of pushing for equal rights, women have painted themselves into a legal corner IMHO. And even if they did forbid it, so what? We’ve gone to war without women before.

I give you credit, good honest answers. Even though the ERA was never passed into the Constitution, the concept has resonated throughout American society since the time that it was proposed and failed to gain enough support for enactment. That's why I figured the SCOTUS would shoot down a male-only draft.

Surely, there are quite a few Congresscritters who would be facing that question if a draft ever came up, as well. Do you think they'd subject their daughters to the same involuntary servitude they'd put their sons through? Or, would they just write exemptions into the law that any female could take advantage of, like becoming pregnant and raising a small child? I guess that would be one way to get the birth rate up in this country.
