#1 Assuming the US had an active draft, how would the vetting for extremism and assurances of "protected minority victim group" quotas play out?

#2 They can't read the basic document.

Section 8.

The Congress shall have power..

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;


Per their power, in Title X USC

246. Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

(b) The classes of the militia are—

(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.


Selective service is the activation of class (2) of the militia.

Then again, people have a very hard time reading the basic document.

Frank,

Prrrrrrrrrrretty much this - no matter what the Left Hand Side actually says, they would shut down Selective Service before the first woman could register.

#7 I remember looking at the big hoo-haw about the Equal Rights Amendment and wondering: "Did they understand that enacting it would cause most, if not all, of inheritance, divorce, child custody and such laws to suddenly become Unconstitutional?"
