This June, by refusing to hear the case National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service System, the Supreme Court allowed the last vestige of legal sex discrimination in American jurisprudence to stand.   The case brought together an odd pair of political allies: the men’s rights organization National Coalition for Men and the American Civil Liberties Union. Together, they argue that excluding women from Selective Service registration requirements violates men’s constitutional right to equal protection.   The US military has never drafted women, though Congress, the military, and the courts have taken up the issue at several junctures, most directly during World War II and during the early 1970s debates over the Equal Rights Amendment. In fact, when Congress passed the ERA in 1972, it did so with the full understanding that the amendment would make it illegal to exclude women from registration simply because of their sex.
