Amicus Brief asks Supreme Court to Let Stand Fifth Circuit Decision Upholding Male-Only Draft Registration
The Center for Military Readiness, along with two additional public policy organizations, six retired general officers, and an expert on physical fitness standards, have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court of the United States, asking the SCOTUS to deny a petition seeking to overrule a 1981 case that upheld Congress’ decision to limit draft registration to men.
The “friend of the court” brief, submitted on Friday, March 12, responded to a petition for a writ of certiorari, which the National Coalition for Men (NCFM) and two individual plaintiffs filed after the government successfully appealed a lower court decision finding that male-only Selective Service registration was unconstitutional.
