constitutional? First of all the Constitution is about what the government can and cannot do. It does NOT say that Congress power to conscript and the founders were against large standing armies so rasing armies is nothing more than a volunteer army. Second it is never necessary and proper to have a draft when there is the militia clause and the second amendment clause which calls forth local militia groups to repel local invasions. The ninth amendment and the 13th amendment prohibit the draft as under the ninth amendment it means that the government is prohibited from violating an implied right not to join the military and the 13th amendment prohibits involuntary servitude.
Last, how does the public fall for the BS about the draft being constitutional? Is it because they are obsessed with Britney Spears?
Liberal Asskisser, I'm not seeing it and do you have ANY critical thinking skills?
Matt, how am I wrong?
Andy, I'm talking about Selective Service Registration although you are correct in that we didn't have conscription since 1973.

"The Constitution does not directly mention the word "draft" or even the older "conscription," "
Elway, then you have no argument. If the power to draft is not listed then it doesn't exist and the founders intent harldy supports a draft as they were against standing armies.
"That is not what the ninth anendment says"
You're just playing stupid. You are reading the amendment and pretending that it doesn't mean anything.
"You can use the ninth amendment to mean anything you don't agree with."
The ninth amendment is to prevent the loose interpretaton of the governments powers.
"Butler vs Perry" All you are doing is citing a corrupt judge or lawyers argument as proof of something. That is like saying because Hitler was never arrested means that he didn't kill 6 million jews.
