Supreme Court Won't Hear Challenge To Male-Only Draft Requirement

WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday decided not to hear a challenge to the country's male-only draft registration requirement, citing the possibility that Congress may address the issue in the near future.

The challenge was brought by the National Coalition for Men, which asked the court to consider a Constitutional amendment to the rule that requires men — but not women — to register for selective service. The American Civil Liberties Union had also asked the court to take up the case, saying the male-only draft requirement is "unlawful sex discrimination."

The court was urged by the Biden administration to not take up the case due to the expected release of a report that will urge Congress to eliminate the male-only requirement and expand draft eligibility to all individuals "of the applicable age."
