San Diego-Based Men's Group Wins U.S. Suit: Women Must Register for Draft
|
[Times of San Diego] Even though America hasn't had a military draft since 1973, men ‐ but not women ‐ are required to register with the Selective Service.
A federal judge Friday said that must change ‐ ordering the government to register women as well.
Welcome to Real Equality, SJW's!
U.S. District Judge Gray H. Miller in Houston agreed with the San Diego-based National Coalition for Men and granted its request for summary judgment in a class action suit.
Touch my grandchildren and things will become instantly kinetic.
"The male-only registration requirement of the Military Selective Service Act, 50 U.S.C. § 3802(a), violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution," Miller's "final judgment" says.
"Women are now allowed in combat, so this decision is long overdue," said Marc Angelucci, attorney for NCFM. "After decades of sex discrimination against men in the Selective Service, the courts have finally found it unconstitutional to force only men to register."
Indeed, Miller wrote: "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 or registration for a draft.' … If there ever was a time to discuss ‘the place of women in the Armed Services,' that time has passed."
Angelucci noted that despite the absence of a draft, men still face prison, fines and denial of federal loans for not registering or for not updating the government of their whereabouts.
"Since women will be required to register with the Selective Service," he said Saturday in a statement, "they should face the same repercussions as men for any noncompliance."
Angelucci, a Los Angeles attorney, previously worked as a family law attorney for the Men's Legal Center in San Diego.
