Should women have to register for the draft? Obama says yes.

Instapundit gives lukewarm agreement -- "we should probably include women, too. Seems only fair" -- and links to this report:

But the two presidential candidates disagree on a key foundation of any future draft: Mr. Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service, while Mr. McCain doesn't think women should have to register....

Both Congress and the Supreme Court have exempted women from registration because of the combat rules.

The Supreme Court hasn't exempted women, it has accepted the exemption of women.

"The Supreme Court hasn't exempted women, it has accepted the exemption of women."

I could think of some other words to describe the SCOTUS' action: "rubber stamped," "approved," "enshrined," "put their blessing on," "institutionalized," the exemption of women from the male requirement to register with the selective service system at age 18.

Perhaps the Supreme Court of the U.S. should more accurately be referred to as the Supreme Misandrists of the United States (SMOTUS), because that more accurately describes the behavior of those bigots and the kind of rulings men routinely get under their vile tyranny.
