Trial Judge Declares Male-Only Selective Service System Unconstitutional

A female soldier mans a machine gun on a vehicle during clashes in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul in 2003. A federal judge in Texas has ruled that now that combat roles are available to women, a male-only draft is unconstitutional.

On Feb. 22, a federal judge in the Southern District of Texas ruled that it is unconstitutional for the government to require only men to register for the draft. Judge Gray Miller found that the male-only Selective Service System (SSS) violates Fifth Amendment Equal Protection principles and granted summary judgment in favor of the National Coalition for Men (NCFM) and two individual plaintiffs who brought suit challenging the constitutionality of registering only men and not women for the military draft system.

    YES, I finally raised enough hell to see results.
    Not that I mind being registered, just some people don't know what the word 'equal' means.
