Judge Rules Women Can Be Drafted, Too

It looks like the US courts may beat the US legislative branch to expanding this realm of submission to government dictates to include women. Gregory Korte reported Sunday at USA Today that US District Judge Gray H. Miller declared Friday in a court case decision “that the all-male military draft is unconstitutional, ruling that ‘the time has passed’ for a debate on whether women belong in the military.”

Here is the key conclusion of Judge Miller in the Southern District of Texas case National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service System:

In short, while historical restrictions on women in the military may have justified past discrimination, men and women are now “similarly situated for purposes of a draft of registration for a draft.” Rostker, 453 U.S. at 78.

If there ever was a time to discuss “the place of women in the Armed Services,” that time has passed.

Id. At 72. Defendants have not carried the burden of showing that the male-only registration requirement continues to be substantially related to Congress’s objective of raising and supporting armies.

My take: This has been a bone of contention for a long time. I say in the long run it will cause more problems than any warm fuzzies this SJW feelgood ruling might cause.

You could have been baking pies and taking kids to soccer practice.....

One thing that pops to mind: How does a woman take care of "feminine needs", i.e. related to menstruation, while waste-deep in a rainwater-filled foxhole while artillery shells burst overhead?

This is most excellent. Equality is equality. Be careful what you wish for and all that.

Next should be full co-ed integration of all prisons, y'know since strong independent women don't need no man. Yes we can!

That would greatly simplify the issue of what to do with transgender prisoners.

Much about nothing, since there is no draft.
