But in a separate statement for three justices running the ideological gamut, Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that Congress is weighing a change to the registration rules. The opinion is a signal that the Court could revisit the issue if a legislative change is not forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At least for now, the Court&#8217;s longstanding deference to Congress on matters of national defense and military affairs cautions against granting review while Congress actively weighs the issue,&#8221; Sotomayor wrote, in an opinion joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Brett Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n<p>The National Coalition for Men and the American Civil Liberties Union challenged the draft rule on constitutional grounds, arguing that it amounts to unlawful sex discrimination. The Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/courts\/biden-administration-asks-supreme-court-to-drop-challenge-to-men-only-draft\/\">made little attempt<\/a> to defend the law in the Supreme Court. Instead, administration attorneys urged the justices to stay away from the issue because Congress is considering changes to registration policy. Monday&#8217;s order seemed to vindicate the administration&#8217;s strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon announced in 2015 that women would be fully integrated into ground combat forces, and it endorsed female draft registration in 2017. Congress created a blue ribbon commission to study the issue that in 2020 urged lawmakers to include women in draft registration.<\/p>\n<p>Advocates of the change emphasize that the military would need to fill all its occupational specialties, like linguists or cyber specialists, in a mass-mobilization conflict. But some veterans continue to question the opening of combat ranks to women, particularly in elite infantry units like the Army Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers from both parties have expressed support for amending the registration rules. Sen. Jack Reed (D., R.I.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said during a March hearing that a gender-neutral rule could be incorporated into the annual defense authorization bill.<\/p>\n<p>Andre Segura of the ACLU of Texas, the state where Monday&#8217;s case originated, said the dispute is part of the broader social clash over sex and gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Government entities, like school districts, still rely on outdated notions of gender to discriminate against LGBTQ people and anyone who doesn&#8217;t fit the stereotypical notion of what a man or a woman should be like,&#8221; Segura said. &#8220;We can&#8217;t allow this to continue in any forum, including the military.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The case is No. 20-928 <em>National Coalition for Men<\/em> v. <em>Selective Service System<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge to the men-only draft registration rule, but some of the justices raised doubts about the constitutionality of the policy.
